Anyone have any experience with this bike? I was originally looking for a hard-tail, but I found a deal on a 2003 Delta 88 that I can't afford to not consider. How does the rear suspension hold up? And would you buy this bike again?

I went to the schwinn website, but it looks like they don't sell this bike anymore. Anyone know why?

Thanks!

Do a search for a user that has POS in his name. He bought a Moab DS, which is a down spec'd Delta.


He's the only one I've seen here on mtbr how has one of the designs.

Found him!

POS is not in his name, just his avatar.
His name is Summitlt.

Email and ask him. He had good things to say about the frame design from what I read in the past.

Cool! Thanks! I just sent him a pm. I hope he has good things to say! :)

Found this old bookmark to a magazine review of the DS bike, again just a down spec'd version of the same Delta 88 frame.

I was going to buy one these frames on eBay when Richard's Bikes was clearing them out, but missed out on those auctions.

That review was really favorable! Do any new bikes (current models) use the iso-drive? I'm concerned about replacement parts should something happen...

I bought a 2004 Rocket 1 and it has a similar if not the same suspension system. You can go to the Schwinn web site and look at it. It is a great bike and has held up well. I am just not sure where Schwinn is for 2005. They are slow announcing their new bikes.

They look great and have nice component packages. I hope people look at these bikes. They really are nice.
