$1050.00 | | Purchased At: | HealthStylesExercise.com | | Strengths: | Strong build, Quiet,Large Flywheel, Price, lots of Features | | Weaknesses: | Different configuration then most spinning bikes in most gyms. | | Similar Products Used: | Schwinn Evolution SR (was my fav), and Saris (too expensive). | | Bike Setup: | Lemond RevMaster w/ Cadence Meter + cloud 9 pad | | Bottom Line: | I purchased a spinning bike for indoor cycling. I didn't like how my road bike flexed while in my trainer. If your not looking for a spinning bike, then no need to read any further.
Adjustments:
I was blown away by just how adjustable this bike is. Like all bikes you can adjust saddle hight, saddle forward and backward, and handlebar up and down. The difference is the Remaster allows for micro adjustments. Other bikes force you into pre-drilled holes, where the rev master allows the post to slide freely and lock into postition with clamps. The Revmaster also allow the handlebar to slide forward and backward to adjust your reach. This makes a big difference, because on a spinning bike you sacrafice knee/pedal position for reach some times (my wife has this problem).
Strength:
As I said I'm a big guy and was worried about the frame, seat, or handlebars flexing when I workout. Not a big deal when seated, but jump out of the saddle and sprint and some spinning bike wobble and flex. The Lemond is built like a rock.
Feel:
The lemond was designed by a cyclist, not an aerobics instructor. The bike is the closest thing to the feel of a real bike. I love the built in aerobars, and the cloud nine allows for me to spin in a tucked position for hours. I didn't know how I'd feel about the high angle of the round handle bars. I seldom use the most extreme tips of the bars, unless I'm out of the saddle for extended periods (45 min standing hill climbs, ugh). Then it makes a big difference resting my shoulders.
The pedal feel is very smooth, and silent. The belt drive has needed zero maintenance, and does collect dog hair like a oiled chain does. The tensioner is very smooth. Tension is added smoothly. The version I bought this year, new, has a brake, which is different then a past reviewer. I'm not sure if the brake was added recently or not. You brake by pushing down on the tension knob, which works well.
Computer:
The main reason I thought about the lemond was for the computer, something the Schwinns all lack. The computer is simple to use, but show all the information I want during and after my workouts. I monitor my cadence and heartrate and compare to spinnerval DVDs. The distance is good for when I decide to just spin, while watching tv or listening to music. The clock, well do I really need to say? I wish it also showed speed, but not a big deal.
Warrenty:
Compared to other bikes in the $1000.00 range this bike has the best warrenty I saw. The frame has I lifetime warrenty. It comes with a 3 years parts and 1 year labor on top of that. With so few working parts I can't see needing the warrenty, but its good to have.
Price:
Ok so I though the Lemond was expensive at first. Then I thought about all of the features and compaired it to the other big spinning bikes on the market. It turns out the lemond is cheeper then other gym quility bikes.
Bottom Line:
If your looking to buy a spinning bike then I would take a good look at this bike. For your money you will get a ton of features, for the same price as a Schwinn Evolution SR ($1200). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1195.00 | | Purchased At: | Mt. Bachelor Fitness | | Strengths: | Awesome! This machine is soooo quiet, smooth, and easy to adjust. The optional computer is a must. I also purchased the Cloud Nine pad for the aerobar. This really helps. Amazing stability! The Revmaster is built iron clad. | | Weaknesses: | None so far. The stock seat was not great. I replaced it immediatly. | | Similar Products Used: | Schwinn, CycleOps 300PT (too expensive) | | Bike Setup: | Standard | | Bottom Line: | Buy this if you need to train indoors due to weather or just not feeling safe training on the roads. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
