Out of the box the bike was not properly adjusted, so it was noisier and rougher riding than I thought it should have been. I don't think they make fine adjustment at the factory. I think it's just basic assembly and then box it up. I looked at a couple of YouTube videos about how to properly adjust a chain drive, and align the flywheel. I got out my tools and went to work, it's not that hard if you have any kind of mechanical skill at all. Now it runs smoothly and very quiet, for a chain drive. The quality of the bike is good. Heavy steel frame , solid components and, good cosmetic finish. Nearly all of the negative reviews I have read about this bike could be attributed to poor assembly and bad adjustments; which can also contributes to other mechanical problems over time. Also make sure that everything is properly tightened and lubricated, just as you would do with an out door bike.Read full review

I ordered the Stratum GS II because of the description stating it was a silent belt drive, when I got it assembled I found that it is in fact a chain drive, just like the old one I replaced because of the chain noise. Also the "console" does not do all the functions listed in the manual and the speed seemed much higher than it should so I had to purchase and install a regular bicycle computer. The frame, wheel, saddle, etc is very well made and I will probably eventually like this bike after I get over having another chain drive. All things considered, the Stratum GS is well enough made to be worth the low price.

I've purchased and tried many exercise bikes over the years....many years....and this is by far THE BEST upright bike I've ever purchased! I love it! Does for me exactly what I want and is not cumbersome and too big. Would fit perfectly in just about any bedroom, as well...but MY gym is my living room!

I purchased two of these bikes for Christmas. They were easy to assemble (about 30 mins for the first and quicker for the second) and we've been using them since. Very sturdy, smooth, and quiet. I can already tell a difference in my aerobic stamina after just two weeks of pedaling at medium high speed. I was excited to get such a great bike for a terrific value with belt-driven system to help my wife and I have a healthier new year and decade. This fits the bill and I expect to enjoy these bikes for many years to come.

1. Very easy to put together. 2. Extremely well made (sturdy frame including all parts and hardware) 3. I'm 6' 2" 225lbs and this machine still has the capability for someone taller and heavier (very impressive). 4. The paint finish and decals are high quality. This is a true and well earned 5 Star review/rating. Thank you
