I waffled for a while on the price of this bike but after reading a lot of information about others I decided that I wanted this one being a chain drive versus a belt drive and frankly I'm not sorry I decided to buy this one.
Bike was received on 3/5/20
My first impressions is that it arrived well packaged and all the part were there, it's built like a tank ie it's built to last for years, fit and finish were first class, welds clean and smooth , good paint job.
A lot of thought went into this bike and a lot of good QC is evident in the one I received, that's appreciated as a consumer.
The assembly wes a snap, even a caveman did it. Give yourself a lot of room and have a trash can and box cutter handy.
The instructions were simple, pictures accurate and the tools that came all worked and were easy to use and worth keeping.
Adjustments are easy, and the bike works great plenty of resistance and it gave me the workout I wanted and expected.
I went over the whole machine and checked tightness and the only thing I found was the screws on the fan cage were a bit loose, no big deal.
I'll give it five stars out of the gate and update if needed.
A word of warning this bike is heavy, for some it might be best to have two people do the assembly and moving, I'm 71 but had no trouble at all doing it. But then I'm a tough old bird. ;)
An update: The only thing I hate about the bike is that for $728.00 bucks you'd get a monitor that had a backlight in it. This is the feedback I left on the assault site.
*******************
I really like the overall machine, fit, finish, ease of assembly, all first class, gives a great workout all five stars.
However that being said
The readout/electronics are pretty darn sad for an exercise bike that hit the floor at home here at $728.00 one would expect at the very least a screen that had a backlight feature so the user could see what the hell they are accomplishing.
Someone went cheap on the design at the end, I guess I could get a headband with a light on it or carry a flashlight to see the screen in my teeth.
