Overall, the price was right for this model with a medium weight flywheel and magnetic resistance. The closest model I can compare it to in the American market is the Schwinn IC3, although the IC3 uses fabric resistance, which can add a little noise.
The assembly directions are mostly clear and I was able to get it together myself in about 25 minutes. The most awkward was getting the crossfeet installed, since you have to bend all the way over and lift the bike up while screwing in the bolts. There's no quick way to do this, so perhaps get a friend to help you on this portion to keep your back intact. All necessary tools are included.
There's lots of adjustment available, which is nice. I'm 6' 1" and fit comfortably. I share this bike with my wife who is 5' 8" and she also can adjust it to fit nicely. My only complaint so far after about 5 hours of use is this: the handlebars can either be a little wider, or the device mount could be a little slimmer. I say this because my hands don't have enough flat surface to grip the bars. They are constantly pinched up on the side of the device mount. After about 45 minutes this gets pretty annoying. Using the higher up portion of the bars with the horns and heartbeat monitor just doesn't feel natural to me at this point. Maybe that will change.
When I say basic, it's true. The "computer" has a single button to scroll between a few measurements like distance, time, speed and a guess at how many calories you're burning. There's nothing here that works with any of your fitness apps. You will have to buy aftermarket items like a Wahoo Cadence to get that kind of integration. However, for me, it doesn't much matter. I'm simply using this bike as a backup for my daily cardio workout that goes between 35 and 90 minutes, so I only use the computer for a distance measurement. There are so many fitness routines and POV cycling tours available on Youtube and other places for your iPad that it's mostly unnecessary to stare at the small LCD screen anyway. It's nice that they included the computer, but I like that they kept it cheap to keep the overall cost of the bike down.
Good value, attractive finish and styling, mostly easy assemble and smooth, quiet ride make this a winner in my book.
