I think you're looking for an answer that is maybe a little more subjective than objective. No one seems to have had a bad experience with any of these models, so you probably have to get on the bikes and see how they feel to you. Can you go to a local store and try them out? Even if you're buying used, at least you have an opportunity to feel them out.

I have a Spinner, but it is a higher model than the one you are looking at. Honestly, I couldn't tell you if it has a chain or a belt and didn't realize there was a difference! It works fantastically well and that is all I care about.

I think you need to just go with your gut here. If you don't like it, you can always sell it down the road.

Good luck!

True....different people like different bikes. I'm a newbie to spinning. They re local sellers so I'd try it out there before purchasing yes. Thanks for all the input!

I had never even been on a bike or tried spinning when I got mine! I only knew I was really interested in spinning from watching workouts and reading talk about it. I'm really happy I took the leap of faith. Of course, not everyone loves it, but I find it to be great fun.

I do recommend you buy the padded shorts, though. Your lady parts will thank you.
