[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-18 Summary: Good Bike, Great Customer Service ... This is an outstanding exercise bike for the money you pay. Sure, you could get a fancier one if you were willing to pay $500-$2000, but for only $200 you really can't ask for a better product. This bike delivers everything the company advertises: easily adjustable resistance, heart rate monitor, etc. One step in the assembly process (connecting the internal tension wire) can be a little tricky, but anyone with a little mechanical intuition should be able to get it up and running within an hour. I have to compliment ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-18 Summary: Excellent Cardio workout at home ... This is the latest addition to the home gym, living next to the Elliptical and Treadmill. I mostly got the upright bike to cross train, since my primary indoor exercise (until it gets back warm) is the treadmill. It's hard to improve if you are working the same muscles everytime, so that's where the bike comes in. My first one came damaged, I usually ship stuff like this FedEx because UPS is too rough, but didn't. Anyways it's Amazon so they sent a replacement right away, I have never had a bad customer experience ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-16 Summary: All Good ... Bought this item via Amazon over other retailers because of the free shipping (delivered very quickly by Fed-Ex). Took a while to put together, and the tension chord was a complete bitch, but I broke out my trusty wrench and got it in place. This bike is very sturdy, and I tightened the piss out of the nuts and bolts so it would be. I can see where the base legs and seat may wobble if the bolts are not tight, so be vigilant about that. Had to get used to the smooth, noiseless ride, and the higher tension settings will ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-14 Summary: Very Pleased ... I've had this product for about a month. Arrived on time. Box a bit dinged, but product was untouched - no dings, no scratches. Assembly instructions are adequate. If you have not had at least a bit of mechanical adventures, get a friend to help you. Works as advertised, so for the price a great deal. Only wish I have is that the calorie counter would take into account the tension control setting. ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-20 Summary: I like it! ... This bike is great! It took about a week to get here with the free shipping. I was a little scared because the pic shown makes the bike look flimsy and sort of like a toy. Being a girl of 200 lbs. I was hoping, when the bike arrived, this would not be the case. To my surprise, it is not!!! My husband assembled it when it arrived and had no trouble. The bike is very sturdy and the seat is wide enough for me to sit comfortably although I would have liked it to be a little softer (- 1/2 a star). You can adjust the tension ...more
