bikemag.com, Feb 2006 - "If youre looking for a bike that can do a little bit of everything, this is your pony. The fact that you get this much bike for this little cash? Thats just icing on the cake." bikemag.com, Oct 2005 - "OKAY, MAYBE IM A GEEK, BUT.I think Schwinns all purpose DBX was one of the coolest bikes at the show. Yeah, I knowno suspension to speak of, no chain guides, not an once of testosterone in sight.
With its lightweight, butted NLitened tubeset and 27-speed 105/Tiagra components, the DBX is admittedly a bit more Shirley MacLaine than Charlton Heston (I cant explain my analogiesits five in the morning and the coffee is weak today), but damn, its cool. Oh, and it has disc brakesAvid mechanicalsto be exact. That mix of technology kinda-sorta makes it mountain-ish, right? No. I guess not.
Actually, the Schwinn DBX is a road/touring/mild offroad/occasional cyclocrosser/commuting machine.and thats why I like it. Sure, its not sexy, but its actually damn usefulthe kind of bike I could go for a long road ride on. The kind of bike that wouldnt mind me beating it up on a logging road for a few hours. That kind of versatility counts for a lot in my book. The DBX looks like the kind of bike Id actually build from scratch and that sort of thing always gets me hot and bothered (which now makes that Shirley MacLaine comparison particularly ill-fittingah well). The DBX retails for $1,199."
