I found this beauty on Craigslist! It has actually been listed for a while now, but I never acquired about it due to having mixed feelings about it: its affordable price, weight, how am I going to get it to my apartment, and is something wrong with it because of its affordable price. Furthermore, while headed to work I decided to text the owner of this indoor exercise bike and they instantly responded with the days and times available to check it out. I figure why not check it out then make the decision from there. Benefits of having this indoor bike, if I were to purchase it, it will relieve me of having to drive to the gym during the work week in-between my overnight shift, which will actually give me the chance to keep up on my workouts throughout the week, as well as not lose sleep in the process due to having access to this bike. Currently I’am looking up anything I can find out about the bike. And for the most part, the only negative reviews I have read about were about its seat mostly which is typical for any exercise bike like this. Another reviewer mentioned that the brake shoe squeaks, but I would imagine that a little oil or WD-40 would assist with calming the noise of that. Seems like a steal, wouldn’t you think? I will be checking it out either this week or early next week.

do you really need brakes on such a bike?
I believe there are no brakes on them. Never seen one of these style of bikes with brakes, even though it may look like it
then how does the brake shoe squeal?
I imagine that its the area where the pedals are located; maybe even the big wheel portion. I’ll have to get near one to explain it.
Didn’t get the chance to pick up this one, but I may just go to home depot and purchase a brand new one. The person whom has this one wasn’t around when I visited. I had no time to hang out and wait on them.
what a flake. you had an appointment?
Really didn’t have one, but he did tell me when they were open. I’am guessing that they had a late lunch because they sure weren’t around afternoon when I visited.
oh, okay. that’s alright then…
Their loss though because they had an interested buyer
yeah, but at least they didn’t flake on you
Seems like a good deal to me.
That is an absolute bargain. These bikes usually run around $500 to $1000 depending upon the bells and whistles on the bike.
I will be dropping in on Monday to check it out. I’ll be looking at everything thoroughly.
