Built with a durable Schwinn steel racing frame and fork, this bike delivers a reliable and agile ride ideal for city commuting and neighborhood cruising. As a true fixie model, it features a single-speed drivetrain that eliminates unnecessary complexity while promoting active pedaling engagement.

Key Features

• Schwinn Steel Racing Frame and Fork: Constructed from high-quality steel, the frame and fork ensure durability and a responsive ride. This material choice provides a balanced blend of strength and lightness, enhancing maneuverability in city traffic while maintaining structural integrity over time.
• 46T x 18T Single-Speed Drivetrain with Flip-Flop Hub: This setup allows riders to choose between forward and reverse gearing using the flip-flop rear hub. The 46-tooth chainring paired with an 18-tooth cog (fixed cog sold separately) creates a direct-drive feel typical of fixed-gear bikes, encouraging consistent cadence and better control during stops and starts.
• 700C Wheels with 32H Alloy Rims: The 700C wheel size ensures compatibility with standard road tires and offers a smooth rolling experience on urban pavement. The 32-spoke alloy rims add strength and resilience, supporting everyday use without sacrificing performance.
• Alloy Front and Rear Caliper Brakes: These brakes deliver reliable stopping power with precise modulation, crucial for safe navigation through busy streets and sudden stops common in city riding conditions.
• Schwinn Urban Seat and Grips: Designed for comfort during short to moderate rides, the urban seat and ergonomic grips enhance rider experience by reducing fatigue and providing a secure hold during commutes.
• Ready to Assemble: The bike arrives partially assembled, allowing riders to complete the setup at home with basic tools—ideal for those who prefer to customize or verify assembly details.

Benefits & Use Cases

The Schwinn Kedzie Fixie is engineered specifically for city riding, offering a streamlined design that excels in stop-and-go urban environments. Its single-speed configuration simplifies maintenance and reduces weight, making it easier to accelerate and climb hills when needed. The flip-flop hub adds versatility, allowing riders to switch between coasting (if paired with a freewheel cog) or true fixed-gear mode depending on preference. The 700C wheels are optimized for paved roads and bike lanes, ensuring efficient speed and stability on smooth surfaces. Whether used for daily commuting, leisurely rides through the park, or navigating campus pathways, the Kedzie’s responsive handling and lightweight build make it a practical choice for urban cyclists seeking authenticity in their ride.

Important Notes

This is a fixed-gear bicycle, meaning the rear wheel is directly connected to the drivetrain—when the wheel turns, the pedals turn. Riders must push themselves along or use the brakes to slow down. A fixed cog must be installed on the flip-flop hub to activate this feature; it is not included with the bike. The bike ships ready to be assembled, so some assembly is required upon delivery. The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not include damage from normal wear or misuse. Riders should inspect all components upon unboxing and ensure proper brake function before first use.
