Which comfort bike brand/model has the most durable parts for $250-$300?

Question

Si where would Schwinn, Mongoose, and Iron Horse fit in the comparison?

Answer 1

In the price range that you are considering most bikes found at bike shops will be similarly built and equipped.

I have seen through experience that Trek and Specialized tend to have one level LOWER components than others at the same price, and that KHS and Diamondback tend to have the biggest bang for the buck.
