 This appears to be the same bike as I own, it's excellent! January 5, 2010

I don't know why Marcy changed the model number on what was a great-selling and highly rated exercise bike on Amazon, and somehow managed to lose its 100+ mostly flattering reviews, but this looks and sounds exactly like the one I've been using 2-3 times per week for the last year-and-a-half. It works really well, and it is definitely worth the money. I'm in fairly decent shape and I use it at level 3 for 20-30 min. Level 8 would be really really hard for more than a few minutes. People who don't find the tension difficult at level 8 either got a defective tensioner or had trouble installing it properly.
The calorie expenditure readout also seems pretty accurate. The flaw, but not a fatal one: the uncomfortable seat, which could not be easily replaced with another one. I tried using a sheepskin cover, but that created its own problems. You probably just have to get used to it as I've tried and mostly succeeded doing. (And the seat doesn't seem to bother everyone.)
As for durability, it's as quiet and smooth as when I first got it. I don't stand on the pedals or the plastic chassis and neighbor kids are not allowed to play on it, etc. I treat it like it's not very tough, although maybe it really is.
Another interesting thing about this exercise bike is that the price has bounced around a lot from $99 to $200 and all over the map and now back down again to $107 with free shipping, at the moment. That makes this an excellent deal to me. I don't know why the three or four other reviewers had such bad luck with it.
good value February 17, 2010

This machine is well worth the money, I would have given it 5 stars if the computer worked, it dosen't. Use a stopwatch that what I did. It's very sturdy and easy to assemble (tools included)
Worth Every Penny! January 27, 2010

If you're looking to spend approximately $100 on a stationary bike, this is the one to get. It is quiet, smooth, easy to assemble, and the display is easy to use. It is light enough to move around from room to room also. I've had it for a couple of weeks and haven't had any issues. Combined with a couple of lightweight dumbells, some music, some cold water nearby, you're ready to get a great cardio workout. You can switch between resistance levels while you're pedaling. Level 1 is the easiest while level 8 is the hardest. 8 isn't super hard but after a few minutes, it gets tough so you can switch by turning the dial. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the hard seat. To get the most out of my workout, I'll be using a heart monitor to stay in the target zone more effectively. So for $100 plus another $30 on an Omron Heart Monitor, I'll be set. Of course the "features" on more expensive bikes are cool but they are not worth extra hundreds of dollars to basically sit and pedal. But that's just my opinion. I just hope this bike doesn't break down. We'll see...
It's an Okay Machine; Gets the Job Done December 5, 2009

The machine gets the job done. The parts aren't that great and strudy. It's easy to put together. Overall it's an okay machine and is not expensive at all.
Low resistance level December 28, 2009

Although the resistant level is 8, it is kind of low to me. It rides like no resistance at all.
