For those looking into a spin bike, I bought a spin bike through a spin instructor from Mad Dog Athetics. I would avoid them at all costs. Customer service was very poor and shipping time was nearly a month. I got the Elite model and it is awesome built bike and have had no problems with it. The Johnny G Spinner bikes are built by Star Trak. They have have the same line of bikes available at various outlets and internet sites. I have tried out the RevMaster and it is an excellent bike. Locally the Revmaster was a bit highter in price than most places so I went with the Star Trak Elite/Johnny G Elite Spinner. I really liked the RevMaster's computer option. I am installing a computer on the Elite to provide me with info while training. I am a novice rider. Originally I bought the spin bike to just loose some weight and stay fit. Since I've had it I have started to train hard rather use it just to loose weight and stay fit. GD
