As an avid exerciser, who frequently mountainbikes and have used stationary bikes during the darkest parts of winter to cross-train for off-road motorcycling competition, I was in need of a quieter & more compact stationary bicycle since I have been using a free one (that broke) or my mountainbike on a stationary stand (which is very noisy, no thanks to knobby tires). I was planning to purchase an older, used stationary bicycle off of Craigslist but decided to give a look at what the cost of a new one was for comparison. Upon reading the good reviews, I took a chance & purchased this unit.
This bicycle is a bargain for what you get! It is heavy, sturdily built and unbelievably quiet! I can't emphasize the quiet part enough, I hear my shoe laces bouncing off the cages more then anything else! The traditional metal cleat pedals & cages are great at keeping your locked in. With a 33" inseam I had no issue getting the bike adjusted to fit me properly. Assembly took about 15 minutes and was simple to do with provided tools & easy instructions. The seat wasn't bothersome for me as some people have complained. The provided time/calorie/odo meter is a nice touch. Pedaling is smooth & the tensioner works well. The adjustable feet to compensate for an uneven floor work well. The only real complaint I can even think of is the fact it doesn't free-wheel, so you must decrease speed after a sprint easily or use the manual tensioner stop otherwise you could jam your knee. Not a real big issue, just something you adapt to if you've been using machines/bicycles that do free wheel.
So in short, If you've been looking for a good stationary bike for a great price, this is it! Buy it. It's a bargain at twice the price!
***3 month update*** Still as quiet as ever, even being used at 4-5X's a week/3+ hours per week.
