  1. Hi. Who makes a spinner-type stationary exercise bike with the
    following?

    + Standard (9/16 inch thread) cranks that I can put my Look A5.1
    clipless pedals on

    + Magnetic resistance

    + Calorie and RPM/cadence counting computer

    The Schwinn Evolution and Star Trac NXT seem to be the best bikes, but
    do they have the above features? (And am I correct about them being
    the best bikes?)

    Thank you,
    Roger Carlson

  2. you might check out Kettler Ergo Racer at worldclasscyclesdotcom.

    I don't know about fitting the Look pedals, but the LeMond RevMaster is the
    best spinning bike, hands down. No spin bike will have magnetic
    resistance--only cheaper home stationary bikes have that feature. The
    RevMaster has an optional display screen--the Pilot--that displays cadence,
    heart rate, calories, etc.

  4. I would like to see a stationary exercise bike that measures power
    output - this would be a much better indicator of work than calorie or
    cadence counting.

    I use LeMond's stationary bike - the RevMaster:

    http://www.lemondfitness.com/products/revmaster/index.html

    which offers the ability to use clipless pedals (my friend uses Look
    pedals on his bike) and the computer functions you describe, but not
    magnetic resistance.

    It is a very nice bike and has a feel that is very close to the road -
    the friction resistance is not a drawback for me at all. The bike does
    not spin up differently even when greater resistance is applied.
