This is a really good deal! I purchased one last season and it serves the purpose well.

I love the trainer (well, probably as much as you can love any trainer). This has become a real estate issue for us - we either store 2 bikes (1 44cm, 1 62 cm) and the trainer in a small house, or 1 spin bike that adjusts to fit both of us.
Vinyl..what kind of spin bike do you have? I'm thinking a trainer is more practical, but if I'm spending the money, would a good spin bike be a better workout?

We ended up with a CycleOps Indoor Cycle - it has a freewheel hub (most spin bikes do not) which should be easier on bad knees. I'm not sure if a spin bike would really be a better workout... that part is usually up to the user! I think it's really a matter of personal preference. A spin bike might offer a few more hand positions, and is a better clothes hanger because there is no exposed grease!
I'm really interested but got two things working against me:
1. I live in Atlanta so it would have to be shipped
2. I'm a social worker who just went back to grad school= I'm broke. If you could lower the price, I'd grab it but I can't do $150.
Let me know if you're willing to work something out! I could do paypal!
The UPS ground shipping estimate I got this morning is about $40 (it's a 30+ lb package), and I'm not sure I can justify dropping the price enough to accommodate that, sorry.
Hey Vinyl,
Will you do $160 shipped? If so, I'd make this my Christmas present![]()
