Title: Mediocre quality for the price
Review: Supposedly this is a $500 bike on sale. I made the mistake of not trying out this specific model prior to purchase online. Two major problems: (1) the parts are poorly machined and in several instances do not fit together well. For example, the plastic sleeves that fit on the seat rail would not slide over the main cross bar. Just poor manufacturing QC (2) the pulse monitor handles on either side of the seat (the only ones on the bike) are in a fixed position; given my relatively short arms, I cannot reach them, rendering all the features useless (e.g. having the bike keep you at 75% max heart rate). This is a terrible design flaw. I regret this purchase and am kicking myself for buying online without trying one out at a brick and mortar store. In fact, buying something this heavy, effectively ruling out a return to Amazon, is not a good idea.
