(More customer reviews)PROS:
Solid platform for climbing and sprint work (you can grid and pull out of the saddle as much as you want with no fear of tipping the bike), smooth chain and hub system, quality construction, large fly wheel - very road like performance, smooth resistance (not 'grabby'), all the adjustments you could want for a perfect fit, comfortable road-like ergonomic saddle, quiet operation even when free wheeling
It looks like a work of art! I really wanted to put it in the middle of my living room as it looks so cool, alas wife wouldn't let me - something about me being a big dork.
CONS:
Narrow resistance band (from 0 - full within 3/4 turn of dial)
This is the indoor bike I was looking for. Better fit that a standard spin bike, more stable for climbing and sprinting that my bike on a trainer.
With an extra transmitter ($30 bucks) was able to mount my Garmin 705 to the unit (setup a second bike profile using the flywheel circumference) for at least speed, average, heart rate, and distance data. Was unable to figure out a way to also get the cadence working. If you want data you have to upgrade to the 200 model. CycleOps offers an upgrade kit to turn your 100 in to a 200 with electronics (everything but power output), but it will cost over $500 bucks! I went the cheap route and am happy with everything via the Garmin unit.
Also - original order said it would be at least a week and a half to delivery, but lo and behold, there was the box in my driveway three days after the order was placed - it was like Christmas! One word of caution - the bike is very heavy (+150#) so get help moving it. Setup was easy and used the tools included in the box. Set of Look Keo pedals fit perfectly, but the toe clip / spd combo pedals included looked nice as well.
This thing with a few videos from "Sufferfest" going to make a huge difference come next spring. Hope to drop a few pounds on the way ... we will see.
