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
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.
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.
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.
