LS28IC
This bike is amazing. Easy set-up, beautiful design, very solid. I have been looking at this bike for over 6 months and finally bought it and i got bike number 491, I am thrilled with this bike it is a fantastic ride. I rode the spin bike at the gym for 1 year lost alot of weight. and they got worn out very unstable feeling. I got the LS28IC. i biked 66 miles the first week and it is the best riding bike i have been on. If they ever remake this bike You will love it. Its perfect in ever way, from looks, design, solid ride, all the different places to place your hands on the bars are wonderful, and the computer is great, does everthing you need. I am so happy i bought mine before it sold out. I am dedicated to ride 5-7 times weekly and get in the best shape of my life, I put a 42" lcd tv and a blue ray player and a sound bar with sub, it makes the biking experience fly bye, bought some rock and roll blue rays and watch great rock and roll bands live music all over the world. it maked biking incredable time for me. Thank You to Lance for the best indoor bike made and anyone out there that might find my review helpul. Simply the best spin bike i have ever been on, LOVE the handlebars the best, so many places to put your hands. Thank You again Chef T.J. Douglasville Ga.
Great ride
I got this bike to help me get into shape and to relive my youth of riding my road racer everyday. I now live in the city and can't really ride a bike on the road safely. I just got my bike today and it took about an hour to put together. It arrived perfectly packed without a scotch on it. After putting it together I rode 10 miles or about 30 min. (I did say I was out of shape right?). I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I put it right in front of my TV and started riding. I do wish the heart monitor transmitter thing would have come with it but I am sure I can find one that works with it. I highly recommend this bike. Also wish I could have been the first 100 for the signed picture (I was 441 of 500). Also love the fact that money went to the live strong foundation.
Great Value, Great Bike, Great Cause
Wow!
I was hooked on this bike the moment I read the tweet and visited the site. I loved the road bike design and the special Livestrong features. I loved the idea of supporting Livestrong at the same time I was getting a rainy day and late night bike.
The bike arrived a few days ago and was straightforward to assemble. The box opened up conveniently for building and was VERY well packed. There was far less to put together than I expected and it went very smoothly. Be sure to heed the caution about the plastic screws; they are a bit fragile (there are only 2).
The bike is quite sturdy and very nicely designed. It rivals any bike I have used in a gym, without all the electronic stuff. All the metal accents were protected with tape and/or styrofoam. The folks who packed the bike did so with great care and attention to detail.
Now the best part...I climbed on, clipped in and took my first ride. I could not be happier with the experience. It is clear that the manufacturers understand their market and design to it.
I would recommend this bike to anyone who is thinking of getting a fitness bike and particularly if they are a road enthusiast. I would also commend the organization, as I have talked to one of their representatives several times leading up to the purchase and receipt and the interactions have always been timely, informative and friendly.
Great Value, solid Trainer
I bought this bike for indoor training during in-climate weather. (We also have a fluid trainer, treadmill and elliptical.) By far this cycle is the most solid and effective piece of exercise equipment I own. It would be great if they could add a power-meter to the flywheel.
Great buy

Great product
This is my first experience with a spinning bike. I've rode bikes on mag trainers for 20 years and got the bug for a change. First, the bike arrived in a week and was very well packed. Not a scratch on anything. I think the assembly and maintenance instructions could be a little better, but they work. The bike is solid as a rock, very quiet and smooth to pedal. It's also a work of art to look at. I've been riding it for over week now(while watching the Tour) and am very happy that I got it.
Excellent product
I spin at least three times a week on another brand of spin bike at my health club, and I seriously considered purchasing one of those. I have to say, however, that the LS281C is the smoothest, sturdiest indoor bike I have ever ridden. I really love it, and my 15 year old son does, too. It is built very well. My only criticism is the placement of the drop handlebar. I really like having that option, but sometimes my knee hits it. I'm sure it's just an adjustment issue. I'd definitely recommend this to my friends who ride, and I also like the fact that some of the purchase price goes to the cancer foundation for research. Win-win.
