   Seat is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Comparing it with exercise bikes I’ve used in the past, the angle of the seat is not right and cannot be adjusted enough to compensate. Also, its display only shows one type of measurement at a time (distance, time, calories, etc.) and my previous bikes have shown all. Pluses are that it is quiet and does not rock.

   I bought this exercise bike for medical reasons. I have angina and the doctor suggested an exercise bike as part of my treatment. I am very happy with this purchase. I do 35 to 40 minutes a day and bike about 6 to 7 miles. I have had no problems with the bike. The tension wire was a bit tricky , but once assembled it works well. Recommended .

   The Stamina 1300 Magnetic Resistance Bike performs well. Two persons are needed to assemble the product.

   The PROS are: The bike is functional, the monitor works well and the product is the right price for me.

   The CONS are: The bike did not provide enough resistance; and the seat was uncomfortable after a while. I had to put a towel to make it easier for me and I am a small person.

   I bought this bike based on the good reviews, even though it has some negative reviews. I got it and my husband set it up with no problems. I was very happy with it the first 3 times I used it. (about 5 miles each time). On the 4th, it began making a clunking noise. Ten minutes into the 5th use, it was clunking so loud that I had to get off it. The bearings had already worn out! I called Stamina and they said they’d send parts but not refund or replace the bike even though I had had it for 10 days. OH, and they couldn’t guarantee that that would even fix the bike. I got back on Amazon and sent it back as it was defective and thankfully was refunded. Thank you Amazon! I have since read several more reviews from places other than Amazon where people had the same thing happen. Don’t buy it unless you want to take the chance of having to take it apart and send it back 2 weeks later.

   This is a decent little bike, definitely a good quality to price ratio. I’m especially impressed with the parts list in the assembly instructions. All of the nuts and bolts are itemized clearly and there is even a ruler on the page for verifying bolt lengths and diameters.

   It took about half an hour to assemble the bike, not including a couple of minor snags. One of the carriage bolts used to fasten the “feet” to the bike came without threads, so I had to run to the hardware store and buy another one. This was more the fault of the bolt manufacturer than the person who packed the parts, as it was easy to overlook. I recommend using a 13mm socket wrench to tighten the nuts under the seat, because it takes forever with the included omni-wrench. There is also a step in the instructions that confuses clockwise and counter-clockwise. Again, these are minor problems; the design of the bike is solid.

   Overall, I give it 4/5 stars because the speed/distance meter feels kind of cheap.
