Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Over All Rating Reviews :

Ordered this bike on Dec 11, and it arrived by Fedex in fine shape on Dec. 14. I admit I had my fingers crossed because of the shipping issues noted here, but this package was in good shape, everything in place and undamaged. My husband, who used to put together bikes in his father's store, had only one problem--the assembly instructions (and manual) were for model 231, not 230, and did not correspond altogether with the model 230 we have. The Schwinn web site had the right manual, and an earlier model had a very similar set of assembly instructions downloadable from the site, so this was not an insurmountable problem. I've been using the bike for several days, and find it very comfortable. I've had both back and abdominal surgery this year, so the recumbent position and lumbar support were important to me. I could adjust it easily to my height (5'3"), and it is noiseless in operation. So far, an excellent buy.
