Just got my bike today and it matches the ratings that have been given by the other reviewers except for two issues:
1.) The seat "clunks" when I use it and it drives me crazy!! Tried all the settings for the seat but it makes noise when I start really pedaling! Finally got a bit used to it and use the sound to help me get in a cadence! It would be totally quiet if it were not for the seat making this noise!
2.) The description in the warranty clearly states that the warranty is VOID if the bike is assembled by the person who orders the bike via mail order!! Certainly not mentioned by any of the reviewers and there it was in black and white on page 46 of the owner's manual: "Sales where the unit is delivered unassembled (in a carton) to the end user (e.g. mail order or internet sales) without a service contract purchased through the dealer VOIDS the Warranty". This is insane and SHOULD preclude this item from being sold my Amazon!!
Other than these issues it is working great and providing a decent workout for an old guy!!
Update: 5 Feb 10. Still clunking along but now the heart rate monitor is giving me totally inaccurate readings! Got the scare of a lifetime when it indicated my heart rate at 160 BPM the other day!! Screen went red and flashing that I had exceeded a safe heart rate. Now it just goes from 76 to 156 all through each of my exercise programs and is totally worthless!
