    Ordered this bike because I’m so busy at work these days I’m lucky if I get to the gym once a week. This exercise bike guarantees me that I can work out 2 days per week on the weekends and hopefully once or twice per week at the gym gives me my minimum total of 4x week.

    Based on the 2 earlier reviews, I ordered this bike. I hate to put things together but they made it sound so easy. It took me an hour (I read, look it over, read some more then gulp then screw something in). Luckily it was a breeze to put it together — they make it easy by taping all the screws, tools and items on a cardboard. You can’t really lose anything unless you work at it. It took me an hour to put it together, my partner had to help a little with the spring.

    The bike itself is so sturdy, comfortable and wonderful, I’m in shock. It’s like using a bike at my $3,000/year company-paid gym. I’m not kidding. I put in on a rug that fits perfectly in front of a TV in the master bedroom and it rides like a dream. So heavy, so sturdy. What a deal.

    The small screen shows you time, speed and distance, no more no less than what I desired. The bikes are much fancier at my gym, but I actually think this is just fine. I work up a sweat by turning the knob further to the right (clockwise) towards the plus sign. Simple and elegant. To clear the screen for the next day, just hold down the on button and you’ll start clean tomorrow. Also, the screen turns off by itself which is good — you won’t run down the battery by forgetting to turn it off.

    Just had to write and confirm what the others said — this bike is a steal for the price — great value.

    Perfect pedal positioning and quick seat adjustment make this upright exercycle a welcome addition to my personal routine. The resistance adjustment knob is easy to use while pedaling. Light and compact with just enough on the digital display to keep me honest. Not a complicated piece of equipment with a comfortable seat. Easy assembly with all tools supplied with bike.

    This thing was super easy to assemble, took about 25 min to do it. It’s pretty quiet and I’m a beefy girl but it doesnt shake or squeak when I get to pedaling! I totaly recomend this bike and I found it way cheaper here than any other website…

    Just finished working out on my new Stamina CPS 1305. Great workout. I purchased it on May9. It was delivered May13. It took me less than 60 minutes to assemble the bike in a slow, leisurely pace. I got on it for the first time while watching the Celtics/Magic game. I’m 36 y old, 140lbs, fit. I’ve been doing P90X for a year. I started with a heart rate of 80. At 5 min, my heart rate was 130. At 10 minutes to 30 minutes, my heart rate was from 140-160… and sweating. I guess the flywheel is still very tight even at minimum settings that I had to stand up to pedal the bike. I’ve only had this for less than a week but I’m very happy so far. I get a great workout when I get out of bed and I don’t have to force myself to go to the gym. The bike itself does not take a lot of space. Make sure you put a mat under it because it tends to creep backwards. Otherwise, it’s very stable/sturdy. I’m a chiropractor and I recommend this equipment for people looking for a good cardio workout and who would want to lose weight.

    The box arrived with no issues. Puting the bike together took less than 20mins for me, but I’m pretty handy, so it may take others more time. Overall very simple instructions with the only issue being the nuts and washers for the bike seat are already on the bike seat. I used nuts and washers listed in the instructions (they’re all numbered) and I ran short at the end. I figured out my mistake and fixed it.

    Great bike with average sound levels at high rpms. Solid and comfortable to sit on. I’m 5’6 and my wife is 5’3 and we both found it comfortable to use. When you really get moving it has a tendency to vibrate on wood floors mainly due to the flywheel design. It’s compact and easy to move around, yet being sturdy enough for long use. I’ve done 45min-60min workouts on this without any problems with the equipment. You may need to adjust the belt tension on the flywheel to obtain your “sweet spot” of tension when pedalling. It’s very easy to do and straight forward.

    You can adjust the tension pretty high by adjusting the belt on the fly wheel. Someone posted it had minimal resistance and this isn’t true. There is a knob to fine tune the adjustment but to make large adjustments you have to adjust the front belt.

    Also, this bike can accept standard bicycle pedals. This is good for those who want to use shimano SPD clips and shoes. Just put your favorite clip pedals on it and clip in!

    I did a lot of online research before purchasing this bike. I was looking for a bike that was built well, quiet, decent electronics, and good value. This Schwinn 140 is exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was very quick for this item. Amazon told me it shipped on a Friday, and it arrived at my house the following Tuesday.

    Unpacking the box was relatively easy. It looked like a lot of parts at first, but there weren’t that many steps required to put this bike together. I was able to assemble this bike in about an hour, by myself. The instructions were clear, although installing the handle bars was a little tricky.

    Once the bike was assembled I spent about 15 minutes making adjustments for my riding height and style. This bike has many adjustments, so take your time getting it right. I’ll probably make more adjustments after my first full week of workouts.

    I really like the electronics. The display looks high-end. It’s bright, easy to read, the colors are nice. I had one issue when I first powered up the bike, after 2 minutes I got an “E3″ error. But after resetting the display, it was fine, and I haven’t seen it since. Hopefully that’s not a portent of things to come. But so far so good.

    I’m 6′, and weigh 240 pounds (that’s why I bought an exercise bike). This bike feels very sturdy for my size and weight. No loose parts, or creaking noises. At least not yet.

    I will be posting pictures to Amazon shortly.

    Had it almost two weeks. Goes together in about an hour and fits in an incredibly small space. Seems very well constructed, no loose parts. Takes awhile to adjust everything as everything is adjustable. Seat is very comfortable, I purchased a different seat when I ordered the bike, but decided to use the seat that came with it. Makes absolutely no noise at all when you’re riding it. Shifting between levels is smooth and quiet, and the pedaling is very smooth and consistent all the way around. Heartbeat monitor on the handles work great, but trying to get my Polar band to talk to it has been a challenge as there is no documentation on how it connects. Seems like if you start riding first, then activate the band, it works, but still trying to figure this out. The interface on the computer takes some getting used to. The documentation for the computer could be a little better, but overall, I am extremely happy with this bike. Great value for the money!

    After doing much research on upright excercise bikes, I selected the Schwinn 140. I ordered the unit from Amazon on Sunday and received it on Wednesday. The box is good sized and quite heavy so I waited for the weekend to move to the basement and assemble. The assembly process took about 1.5 hours. The instructions were simple (tools included) all parts went together very well. I had a little challenge installing the handlebars (due to computer cable), but after a couple of tries, everything fell into place an sligned properly. The computer unit has a number of pre-programmed profiles, but I created my own, and this was a very easy and simple process. The instruction manual could be better, but most operation is intuitive anyway, so not that important. The bike is very quiet and smooth, allowing the user to change profiles on the fly. The unit is also allows for easy adjustment for just about every aspect of the bike, allowing different users a proper fit. Overall, very pleased with value received and of prompt delivery by Amazon.

    This bike is very quiet and has several adjustments for riding position. Unfortunately I’m 6’2″ and my knees hit the handle bars when I ride.

    I purchased this bike to continue with my physical therapy after hip replacement surgery. It was delivered quickly–less than a week. My husband assembled it for me in about 35 minutes. The bike is just about silent when it is in use, and I love the LED readout that helps you keep track of the time, speed, RPM’s, distance and calories burned. It’s stable but not too heavy to have to move from place to place. I started at about 5 minutes a day and I am up to 15 minutes. My hip is doing great and another benefit is that I have started to lose inches as well! I would recommend this bike to others.
