Here's my situation, I've been a Bally gym member for years. But the last few months I was so sick of going there ...for a myriad of reasons. So I wanted a machine that was robust and cheap. And for a while I flirted with some of the cheaper machines ...a word of warning ...DON'T!! Stop here and go no where else. The machine is as sturdy as the lifecycle machines I've used at the gym. And its "quite". Let me talk about that a bit. I do interval training because I find it most effective. I would ride at a moderate pace for 2 minutes then go max for another 2 . When I'm at the max ...I tend to sway a bit more ..and thats when I hear a slight creaking noise ..... not overbearing ....as I can still easily hear the TV. For most ...most people this will never be an issue and I would agree with anyone who said its quite....very quite!! Assemble was great ..they have mastered the art. All screws are labeled ...no left over screws when your done. All the tools you need are provided. You may want to get a 2nd person to help ..though I did it alone in a few hours. At under $400 this is the sweet spot .. a moderately priced ...high class machine. Some of the cheap machines actually does what the reviewers claim. But try to understand who those reviewers are ...a 60 year old staving off joint pains ...or someone who never got any appreciable exercise before. The Schwinn however can accomodate everyone ...even highly trained atheletes. Now I can get a good workout ..without facing the cattle market at the gym ..and hit the shower instantly instead of fighting traffic! I save time, I'm never inconveinienced, ...this is a blast!!
