Great Bike - Poor Custermer Service @ Nautilus

My bike arrived with a broken monitor and missing parts. I called Nautilus which now owns Schwinn. The customer service # is understaffed and incompetent. I spent over a 1/2 hour to get to the right person and to communicate my problem. I then had to email the same person with confirmation information on my Amazon order. After another 2 emails and over a week later I finally received my parts. I would recommend ordering the bike locally and having the local store deal with Nautilus. Nautilus is not set up to deal with the end user.

Great bike

After reading the reviews for this bike I thought it would be difficult to put together, but it was pretty straight forward and quite easy. It's great to ride and seems to be a solid product. For 699.00 I thought it was a good price through amazon retailers. I am giving this bike a 5 because I believe it's a great product for the money. I pretty sure you will be pleased with this product, as I am.

Time will tell...

I work in IT so I understand firsthand how aggravating it can be for our client's when "patch" instructions are written by engineers. Based on the atrocious assembly instructions, I can only assume that a Schwinn engineer was tagged with this task.

Basically there are one page of instructions and two pages of illustrations. The illustrations must have been done in Microsoft paint because they are often so pixilated & muddy, that you can't make out the components. The other problem is that you often guess which set of instructions go with which illustration. I think the average assembly time (3-4 hours based on peoples comments here)...could be cut in half with good quality instructions. For this reason alone I lowered my rating by 1 star.

As far as the construction of the bike it seems to be solid as a rock. It's probably premature for me to be writing a review as I've only put 12 miles on the bike so far but that being said, this is not flimsy construction! I also thought the overall motion of the unit was smooth and noise was minimal.

One other thing I'd probably comment on is that it would be nice if there was another means of increasing resistance. While I do think you can get a good workout on the bike I felt that I was able to obtain the highest cyclical rates too easily and maintained that speed for 25 minutes. Guess I'll have to ride the bike a while longer if I want to burn 500 calories.

Bottom line for me is, if I can use this bike regularly for a few years without any maintenance issues I'll be pleased. Time will tell.

Absolute POS

Don't buy this bike. The Airdyne was recommended to me by a friend, and boy was that a mistake. The instructions for assembly are a joke, and it will take a good 2-3 hours even if you are fast at putting stuff together.

Once I got it together, then of course, the computer display didn't work (exercise timer would abrubtly freeze). Called Schwinn, and they sent another (that still didn't work). I am sending this thing back.

Cross this one off of your list!

great product

I bought this about 6-8 months ago and love it. It is small and quiet and very comfortable to ride. Major improvement over the older model, which I owned for several years. It was slightly challenging to put together, but it turned out to be a fun project -- all the tools and parts were there, and it took approx. 1 hour. The instructions were very good. Very highly recommended.

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
