Perfect for my needs. I owned an airdyne-style bike years ago and rode it until it disentegrated. This time I wanted a genuine Schwinn Airdyne. Yes the Schwinn is loud, but no louder than any other airdyne-style. Face the facts, they are all fairly loud by their very nature and a buyer should know this before purchasing one. The quality is much better than my last bike which I expected it would be, and it is more stable and comfortable. I'll agree that the assembly instructions provided are too small to read, but the retailer I purchased from provided great instructions and there are plenty of usable instructions on the web. The assembly did require several different tools, but luckily I had every tool required (if you don't have a 7/8th's wrench a 22mm works perfectly). I took my time and it was a piece of cake - no missing parts and all the components perfectly aligned - I had no problems at all with the assembly. Thus far I have been 100% pleased with this product. It has the quality I expected and I should get many years of use.

Had this bike for 7 years now, used 3 or 4 times a week due to knee injury )not allowed to run anymore). excellent build quality. had to replace the chain spring assembly twice. Dont try to stop and the chain spring will last longer

My wife and I are both 70 and we stay fit with our home gym in the winter and with bikes and kayaks in the summer. This Airdyne is well designed and built and we will discuss it more when we are 80. It will get us there.

The Evo Comp is a big part of my cardiac rehab program at a local hospital. Bought one to supplement that program and provide a means for my spouse to exercise. This is the best device for a complete, full body workout, and it's built like an army tank.

The instructions for assembly and use of this bike are [...] virtually useless. Those illustrations that exist (online only, enclosed are non existent) are too small and lack sufficient detail, and are inaccurate as this model changes. Parts are poorly identified, and there are confusing extra parts. The number (7 or 8) of special tools needed are daunting for the average homeowner. Not even the serial number is findable from the enclosed "manual"! And, when you do find (online) where it is located, it is unreadable without a magnifying glass, and does not fit in the registration card boxes! If you are not a mechanic, do not buy this otherwise solid exercise bike.

I purchased the bike from a local dealer in the Summer of 1997. I typically use the bike about 8 to 10 times a month in my home gym. Best investment ever.

Always hated exercise bikes. Decided to try the Evolution Comp because my brother had an older airdyne and I liked it. Better than I had hoped. I have lost 35 lbs in about 6 months and ride almost every day 12 to 30 minutes. It is good workout, though it is still very noisy.

I have had two Air Dynes and this Comp. I like the belt drive. I've put thousands of miles on the compact, stable esay to use ergometer. It is my all time favorite.
