Rating: - * Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike ... Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike I went online and looked at consumer reviews of several exercise bikes. The Schwinn 230 reviewers were largely highly positive to laudatory. The one theme that stood out in my mind after reading all reviews was -- "solid machine; excellent value for the money." I bought the machine "sight unseen" a month ago. I can honestly state that it indeed is a "solid machine" and "excellent value for the money." [One thing I did not know beforehand -- Schwinn is a product made by Nautilus, the famous exercise equipment maker that's been around for ages.] I like it very very much and hop on about 3-4 times a week for a 30-minute workout. The rest of the family does too. One other important observation -- I have never, repeat never, in all my years come across a product with such crystal clear assembly instructions and logical parts and tools arrangement in labeled packaging. Someone has given a lot of thought to making the process as friendly and foul-proof as possible. I put this together, leisurely, within an hour whilst watching TV on the side. I highly recommend it, especially to those with bad backs, those who are bothered by the up-and-down motion of elipticals, or those who can't risk damage to the knees by treadmills. Rating: - * not here yet! ... Today is November 25th. I purchased this bike on October 24th. It is not here yet. I have traced item's delivery. It is sitting about 40 miles from my home. I have contacted Amazon 4 days ago and have had no response from them. They want me to review the product?? Rating: - * close to perfect ... Works very well, but seat adjustment spacing could be better. Spacing and ease are both frustrating. Rating: - * A great vailue ... My first use of a recumbent exercise bike was in a hotel. It was a Nautilus and I was so impressed I thought I would buy one for home. However, when I started to research the Nautilus bikes I just couldn't justify the $1000+ price. Finally I broke down and purchased the Schwinn 230 as it seemed to offer enough of what I was looking for and at a great price. When I received the bike (faster then expected) I was amazed at how simple assembly was. All tools were provided and the instructions were simple. The bike is stable and quiet and joy to use. The biggest surprise in all off this? The Schwinn 230 is made by Nautilus! Rating: - * Schwinn Recumbant ... Overall this is a great bike. It is smooth, comfortable, and has many different degrees of difficulty which match differences between my wife and I. Also, the programs that come with the bike are varied and fun to use. The pulse moniter works great and is easy, just hang onto the grip. My only complaints are minor. One, it takes well over an hour to assemble. Two the screen is mounted high which makes it difficult to watch TV while riding. I have to look to one side to view the TV aroung the monitor. |


The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker
