Lemond Revmaster Sport

This is a beautifully built spin excercise bike.If you are not going to use it to improve your road biking skills and to stay in shape during times when you can't (or don't want to) be outside on your "real" bike, then you should be looking at some other type of cycle excerciser. This isn't for you.The Rev Master can substitute for an add-on cycle excerciser that you use with your own bike. Because it is more compact and it's set up all the time, you might get more use out of it than you would from a bolt-on.Although expensive, quality just oozes out of the Rev Master.There are many nice touches - combination SPD/toe clip & strap pedals, a seat post adjustable for reach as well as height that you can mount a proper bicycle road saddle on, if you don't like the one it comes with (which is a pretty good one, in any case).The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't adjust the (one piece) bar/stem high enough to suit me when the seat is at the right level. If you are younger/fitter than I am, this won't be a problem for you.The only caveat I have about it is that you should try it out first to make sure that you can adjust it to fit you properly. There is a very wide range of adjustments but make sure.

I'll describe what I believe to be the positives and the negatives of this bike.Unless you are really serious about training for cycling and/or spinning, a regular exercise bike might be a better choice. I think I would have gone that route if I had it to do over, because this is uncomfortable, which makes me not want to use it.I got my Lemond RevMaster Sport a couple of weeks ago and I'm very pleased with it. It's a serious piece of equipment, very stable, and about as adjustable as one could expect. I'm 5'2 and it works for me. It's taller and more difficult to get on than a traditional exercise bike, which this really isn't. The seat is uncomfortable. I got a seat cover for it as soon as I realized that I wouldn't spend much time on it otherwise. I love the way it operates. It's smooth and powerful. It's very easy to turn the dial so that you have more or less resistance. It's also fairly easy to raise and lower the seat and/or handle bars. I'm using it so I can have 'spinning classes' at home.I think you need to be in fairly good shape to enjoy this, or at least willing to put in the time and effort to build up to being in good condition, because this bike will do it.I enjoy riding to Bike-O-Vision, Global Ride, and others which provide a virtual cycling experience of cycling all over the United States and many places all over the world. Some of them let you choose among several professional coaches to motivate and inspire you. I also enjoy Scenic Trex Beachside Jungle as a relaxing ride down a wooded pathway, to the beach.

Bought this bike based on user reviews and Hoist web site stating all bikes 100% inspected. I am now on my third defective bike. the 1st bike had a defective flywheel and handle bars that would not sit straight. The flywheel had a dent which caused a snapping noise with every revolution. Swapped it for another bike and this one had an oval shaped flywheel which caused a much worse noise and a jumping sensation in the handle bars. Now one month later and 3rd bike finally no flywheel issues but having handle bar issues not sitting straight. Very frustrated this is not a cheap bike and fed up. Hoist has some major manufacturing issues this is by no means a coincidence 3 defective bikes in a row I think not. They will not compensate and take responsibility just want to keep swapping parts and bikes until they get it right. I have to live with the handlebars not sitting straight because I don`t trust not getting a bike with more defects. These bike are heavy and it has been a hassle. The whole experience with buying Hoist bike has been terrible. It`s to bad because I am sure it would have been a great buy if not for the defects. I hope this review keeps people going through what I have.... buy something else.

No frills. just a solid, high quality spin bike. The bike was well packaged and easy to assemble. One important factor in selecting a spin bike for me was the Q-factor (width between the pedals). I researched and tried many bikes and the LeMond bikes have one of the smallest Q-factors, which makes it feel like you're riding an outdoor bike. I have been on the Pelton and LeMond Pro bikes many times. They are top of the line spin bikes, but the LeMond Sport bike is just as good and cost a lot less. The customer service at Prime Home Fitness was great too.
