 The bike is excellent, but beware of delivery!Jun 24, 2008
This bike is amazing...easy to put together...quiet....and easy to use. I needed a bike to use every day since I had my knee replaced. This is the bike for me!! However, the delivery was upsetting. The delivery man refused to put the package on my porch. He said he had to leave it at the curb....I live on a very busy street where there are two schools. I begged him to please just put it in my yard. He claimed it was just too heavy, but finally, I convinced him to leave it on my porch. It was quite an experience! But, now that the bike is in my family room, and riding it daily....I am really pleased with the product!!

 Great Machine with AnnoyancesJun 21, 2008
I received the 203 from Amazon a week before their estimated arrival date. The heavy box (over 100 lbs packed) arrived undamaged, unlike the experiences of some other users. All the parts were separately wrapped and nothing was missing.
Assembly took me about 2.5 hours. Sometimes the instructions were clear, sometimes they were gibberish. The tools needed are supplied, that's great because I don't keep tools in the apartment. If you can, have someone help you assemble the thing: too many times, three hands are required to get things done efficiently. As it was only me, I was bent like a pretzel sometimes trying to get things in place.
I should note that the instructions came with an "addendum" that replaces step 4. This may have been in response to some of the complaints. I also had a bag of parts left over. Hmmm. Never mentioned, they look innocent enough... Thankfully, they don't seem to do anything!
Once assembled, the bike is fantastic. All the electronic gizmos worked as advertised. The heart rate monitor takes about 30 seconds to come up to the real value and requires both hands on the sensor. For me, that's OK as I find it comfortable to place them there anyway.
The seat adjustment is perfect and should accommodate almost anyone. I am amazed at how quiet it is! In fact, this is the quietest machine I've ever used. People in the same room won't even know its running (excluding noises from the user). The range of resistance should keep the machine valuable for a very long time.
The machine is sturdy for home equipment, comfortable, and smooth. The users guide leaves a lot to be desired so learning to use the computer is pretty much left to your imagination. Annoying but not too difficult.
Overall, this is an excellent machine. If you are not an engineer, the assembly might be a bit problematic. Highly recommended.
Schwinn 203 Stationary BikeJun 12, 2008
Good quality stationary bike exactly as described and shown.
Well packed, arrived as predicted, on time and I even received personal assistance from shipper on questions and arrangements for an appointment to deliver.
This is so quiet you can hardly hear it when it is in use.
The rack for propping up a book to read while you are spinning does not hold more than a thin magazine or newspaper. Books push against the buttons causing the program to change.
Otherwise Excellent!
Nice exercise bike without the premium price!!Jun 06, 2008
I purchased this bike as an alternative to always rowing or ellipticalling. It didn't have a premium price, so I was skeptical about the quality. Most exercise bikes, the seats are really annoying when they shift side to side when riding.
No problems what-so-ever. It's actually makes you want to go workout. And since it's not as loud as a treadmill, you can watch tv and exercise without disrupting everyone else in the house.
The only problem I encountered was a faulty cord that was fed up inside the tube to connect the control board. Customer service was helpful once I diagnosed the problem and I had a replacement cord in a couple days.
Highly recommended - Quality and Good Value.
Good productJun 03, 2008
This product was easy to assemble. It's sturdy and has nice program features. The only complaint is that one of the parts arrived damaged. Requesting a replacement was very easy, though.
