I'm a road cyclist who also enjoys spinning classes. I was seeking an indoor cycling bike for winter/bad weather training.Pros about the bike:I debated getting the Stamina CPS 9200, which has a 29lb flywheel. I'm glad I got this instead because at 40lbs, the CPS 9300's flywheel is just heavy enough for a solid IC workout. The belt drive on this bike is better than chain drive because 1) it's silent, 2) it's very smooth, and 3) it's maintenance free. Chain drive bikes require occasional cleaning and lubrication, which is fine for a road bike in the garage, but not an indoor cycle that sits on my light beige carpet. The large transport wheels are a plus, but not needed on carpet. I'm 5'4"/135lbs and can move this bike very easily in my gym. Finally, the seat is micro-adjustable horizontally, while adjustable in ~3/4" increments vertically. The handlebar is adjustable in ~1/2" increments vertically. Overall, once everything is tightened, the bike is very stable and solid even while stand pedalling. No wobbling in the handlebar or seat. I can get just as good a quality workout on this bike as I can on the commercial Spinner bikes in class. The simple bike computer that came with this was icing on the cake - it gives workout time and estimated calories, speed, and mileage. The bike was easy to set up at ~10 min to remove from the box and ~15 min to assemble with my husband's help. As is standard in indoor cycles, the "main frame", which consists of the frame, flywheel, drive train/plastic cover/crank arms, was already assembled.Why it's not 5 stars:Out of the box, there were 3 problems: rubber sleeve in the handlebar tube was broken, brake pad assembly was severely crooked, and the bike made a scratching noise. I tried to fix it myself with no luck. The company sent us a second bike, which was perfect except it made a different scratching noise. I had to unscrew and adjust the plastic drive chain cover to clear it from moving parts and this fixed the noise problem. The end product I have now runs perfectly, but took some extra labor on my part to get there. Two other minor issues: the bike seat is not confortable. Recall that I ride road bikes with skinny seats, but even with my premium padded bike shorts, this seat causes soreness around the sit bone area. The seat angle is adjustable only slightly. The other thing is that rubber coating on the handlebar is a little rough. I didn't have to wear bike gloves on the Spinner commerical bikes, but on this bike I have to either wear gloves or cover the handlebar with a towel.Misc info:The water bottle cage is a standard bike cage that fits all my cycling squeeze bottles. The plastic bottle that came with this bike is a cheap piece of trash. While the right crank arm is welded to the spindle, the left crank arm is bolted in loosely in the factory and need to be tightened with a socket wrench prior to extensive use or it will start to come off in the middle of a workout; but once tightened, it will stay on. The decals on the bike (brand/design stickers) are poorly applied - some are misaligned and some have bubbles. The seat horizontal position adjustment knob must be extremely tight or the seat will start sliding backwards during a workout. While the belt drive train is silent, the brake/resistance pad does make a little bit of noise when rubbing on the flywheel (as should be expected), but it's still much more quiet than a chain drive bike.My experience with the manufacturer:So after I quit trying to fix the three problems with the original bike, I called Stamina customer service directly. I got a live person in about 2 minutes and told them about the three issues. The customer service rep shipped me a replacement "main frame", which is everything except for the handlebar, seat, pedals and the feet/stabilizer bar at no cost to me. It arrived in 7 days and I didn't even have to send back the original defective bike. They said I can do whatever I want with it. The replacement main frame happened to have arrived with an extra seat, so now I have almost an entire bike's worth in spare parts.Overall, I recommend this bike to anyone seeking a commercial quality workout at home.

I quit my gym and was looking to purchase a spinning style bike for home use. After doing lots of research I selected this bike because it is belt driven, has a heavy fly wheel and is simple, no-frills. The bike arrived in about five days and was easy to assemble, except for the fact that some parts in the instructions were already assembled on the bike while other parts that were loose were not in the instructions. The bike is solid, pedaling is smooth, and the tension adjustment works well. The seat post sways a little, but the handle bars are very tight and don't move even when I get out of the saddle. The seat is not very comfortable, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It's a heavy bike, but very easy to move with the front wheels. The monitor is ok, but I would have liked to have an rpm readout as it only displays calories, speed, distance and time. Overall, I'm very happy with this bike- I'm on it 4-5 days a week and get a great workout. It's very, very close to the quality of the one I used in my old gym at a much lower price.

This bike is awesome! Prior to purchasing, I spent time reviewing many spin bike models and customer reviews. I chose this bike because of the following: belt drive instead of a chain (easier to maintain), heavier fly wheel, comes with a monitor so you can track time/distance/calories, and was reasonably priced. The bike came nearly all assembled...it took 25 minutes from opening the box to riding. I am 5' 2" and do not have any problem using this bike. However, it could be an issue for someone shorter than that. I was used to the seat as it is like the one on my road bike so I am comfortable on it. GREAT product for the price!!
