OK, after a thorough investigation this is a wally world bike. My bad, thought it was a good deal for the money. Thought it was a Signature series bike.

The neon green kills me, but it's better than the orange, and overall the black frame looks better than the white ones and easier to keep clean (white stains easily and shows every spatter of anything and every scratch)

Black and lime green is the factory color.

Got the bike brand new from Wal-Mart for $215. The newer model has rear disc instead of a rim brake. In excellent shape a $100 would be the max asking price for a department store bike that old.

I will say there's no way in the world I'd ever dream of putting any kind of assist system on a $1000+ bicycle shop bike. Sort of defeats the purpose of spending that much money if you aren't seeking high performance from your pedal power

Plus ,your looking at bikes that are designed to be as light as possible , I myself prefer a little bit of tank like qualities in my mb. Motor bike not mountain bike .

What's weird is the pic of the bike in the OP has the traditional Schwinn badge on the neck, only Signature bikes carry those. A conundrum huh?
