I have this bike for about 3 months now and I am not happy with my purchase.
Firstly, I am 1.84 m (6 ft) tall, even at the highest possible positions, the seat and the front cannot go high enough to accommodate my proportions, my legs cannot extend properly, thus the exercise is not as effective as it should.
So if you are as tall or taller than me, consider that this bike is not designed for tall people.
Secondly, the "valves" that hold the seat and front in place, have started to wobble and they are screwed the tightest they can. I weight only 70 kg, this is inexcusable.
Thirdly, the seat is so damn uncomfortable, my bottom hurts after just 10 min of me sitting on it, and I have to sit in an awkward position in the first place, having half my buttocks hanging in the back just to tolerate the pain, which makes the seat really unstable sometimes.
Finally and most annoying, is the smell. After leaving the bike in a well ventilated area, under a constant draft for 3 months, the bike still reeks of a horrible plastic smell. It is UNBEARABLE to be near it, the smell is THAT bad.
Two more minor issues that I don't care about but are still true:
1)The peak 80's technology digital "measurements" gadget, just doesn't work. I tried switching the cables, pressing the buttons in all possible combinations, it is just cosmetic and useless.
2)The little metal water bottle is disgusting and I wouldn't drink out of it even if it was my last available water source.
I paid 225 euro total, so I guess I got what I paid for...
