Iron Lung posted:So I was pretty much ready to pull the trigger on a Peloton and all the required stuff for my wife and I, and she asked me to look at other options, which brought me to this thread. We are looking for an indoor bike, neither of have experience cycling or doing spin, but know we want a bike vs a rower or treadmill for a small home gym we're putting together. I subscribe to the peloton app and I really like it and their trainers. Don't care too much about the leaderboard or heart rate monitors etc that come built in with a Peloton. The bike will be set up in our office/gym which has my PC and will have a TV mounted on the wall as well, so we can sync the bike to that using the app.  i just bought the joroto x2 and i'm very pleased. right now they're $440 in the us, i think i paid $590 cad for mine. very good build quality, belt drive, magnetic resistance. quiet, easy to use. i stuck one of the wahoo bluetooth cadence sensors on the pedal bar and it works great with the peloton ios app. i just set an ipad on the top and ignore the (admittedly mediocre) computer that it comes with. it works super well, plus the ios membership is half the price of the peloton membership itself, though it's limited to one person if that matters for you (completely worth it imo). the only difference between using it and the peloton is that you have to get your own feel for what the resistance levels are (this isn't a big deal imo since the trainers are good about calling out what the resistance should feel like, not just the value), and you don't get a power readout for the leaderboard (i don't care about this, personally).
