Unbelievable Spin Bike Value!!,

My title pretty much sums it up, but let me dig into a few more details for you dear reader.
This spin bike is everything I was looking for. It is the equivalent of the spin bikes at the gym I used to be a member of. Those were Lemond bikes, though not the latest models, but still very nice ones - and very pricey!
I'm 6'1" with a long torso and this bike has all of the adjustments that I need. I was looking at the less expensive spin bikes here on Amazon, but the one thing they lacked was the ability to adjust the handlebars fore/aft. That was an option I wasn't willing to do without, so I reluctantly paid more. I wasn't sure if the bike would be up to par and there were no dealers nearby that I could try before buying. Knowing Amazon has an excellent return policy, I took a chance on this one after much online research and comparison.
The belt drive is smooth and quiet! The seat is comfortable to me, but I'm a former road racer. It's a personal item...Read more

In short it's a very nice bike. Even when the average American stops using their exercise equipment a few months later the scrap value on this thing will probably fetch half it's price back if not more. That is also a con. This thing weighs almost 150 lbs and is solid metal which makes it difficult to move unless you have some muscle on you. There are front wheels for rolling it around on the front (lifting the back) but it's still a lift. It will take 2 people upon delivery to get it around the house especially if stairs are in the path. The seat isn't the most comfortable thing on this bike. It's not bad, but sitting there for 30 minutes is really gonna start to hurt. Foot pedals are awesome. They have very nice straps on them - you do need to wear shoes with this bike. I have what looks like wrestling shoes that work fantastic. Assembly is pretty easy with only 6 steps for completion, tools are included to put it together.
It comes with no electronic monitors so...Read more

I have had this item for just a few weeks, and surprisingly as I went to write this I see the price has jumped considerably from the $585 w/free shipping that I paid in October - what's the deal with that? Just had to mention that, I'm really surprised to see such a jump in price.
The bike arrived via ABF freight, they called ahead and were very easy to deal with, helped me get the bike into the garage. That evening I assembled it. The hardest part was getting the thing out of the box, doing this with a helper would have been easier. There were no hard steps, though the hardware changed slightly from the included instructions, it was all self-explanatory. One note, there is nothing that comes other than an assembly and parts manual and a registration card - no CD/DVD, no instructions on care/maintenance, or anything else, a bit surprising for a large purchase.
I have never had a spin bike before, but I did have a Schwinn magnetic resistance recumbent bike...Read more
