Is there a big quality difference between Schwinn bikes and Magna bikes?

I just want to know if there Is a a difference between the to in quality and how long Magna has been around.

There is a big difference between Magna and Schwinn even at discount stores. The Schwinn has a much better support system and tend to be better built- but they are also usually more expensive.

Magna, not to put too much of a point on it, are junk.

Magna, owned by Diversified Investment Corporation (they may have been bought out by Kent- a bike company owned by Walmart), has been around since about 1985 or so.

Magna bikes are poor quality.
Schwinn has a line of bikes that sells at Walmart and Target. Those are also not that good, although I would rather get one of those than the Magna.
Schwinn also has a line of higher quality bikes not sold at Walmart or Target.

I see Schwinns being ridden on the road.

I see Magnas decorating garages.
