The build quality and adjustability of this bike is great, and it was easy to fit for my wife and myself. The frame is rock solid and peddling is smooth as is expected for a bike in the this price range. I've heard some complaints about noise, but not so on my bike. I really like the lighter weight flywheel - our old bike had a 45lb flywheel that felt like it would rip your legs off during a quick stop.

There are some issues though:

1) The SPD pedal clips are cheap, noisy, and clunky. My mountain bike has real Shimano clips that are very silent and easy to get in and out of. These grab onto your foot like a rattley bear trap, and I could see someone with weak ankles being injured trying to get out of them. I'll be replacing the pedals at some point.

2) There seems to be a complete lack of basic instructions on how to start using the app along with the control panel. Start up needs to be done in a precise sequence, otherwise it fails to connect to programs in the app and you have to stop and start over (very annoying). Not rocket science, but it took quite a while to figure this out. A short Youtube video showing how to connect the app to the bike, which modes have to be set (Power Training) and how to set them, how to adjust FTP, and start training sessions is badly needed.

3) I could not get any of the the premium app features to reliably work with my 5 year old Lenovo tablet. I was never able to complete one of the video training sessions without the app crashing or…

I did a lot of research and an older person wanted a indoor cycle for keeping my legs stronger and trying to keep myself in decent shape especially in the winter months. I had a lot of questions especially since this is a new bike and there were no reviews on line. I messaged many time and Matthew Hoffman answered in usually a hour or so. I suggest you ask questions as well. This is a entry level model for ICG but it had the features I was looking for. I like the rear flywheel and it's lighter. I like the Wattrate LCD Computer. It shows RPM, Speed and with each click of the resistance knob the level displayed goes up 1 level 1-100. I was a bit reluctant to buy something and not try it out first but finally decided I would buy it. It took around 4 weeks to arrive UPS. The box did have a couple small holes in it and when I cut the straps and lifted off the top box 1 piece of styrofoam was broken. The bike was fine, no damage. I brought it in the house and assembled it by myself. It was a little awkward but I am a retired auto mechanic so I figured out how to get it done. You need your own tools, that wasn't a problem for me but something that you may need to consider. You need 2.5mm,3mm,6mm,17 mm socket , torque wrench,13 mm wrench and a small Phillip screwdriver. It took maybe 1 1/2 to 2 hours to assemble.1 issue was when I was trying to install the tablet holder. The instructions do not tell you the the bike comes with the computer already mounted. You have to remove 1 screw…
