Schwinn 460 in Stores? I'm thinking of buying the 460 but would really prefer to try it out first. I saw that Dick's Sporting Goods sells the 460 on their website, but my local Dick's didn't have one in the store. Has anyone seen these in a store, and know where I might be able to go to try one out? Schwinn 460 in Stores? I'm thinking of buying the 460 but would really prefer to try it out first.

I emailed Schwinn a couple weeks ago with the same question (customerservice@schwinnfitness.com). They told me that at least in Northern California, there are no brick & mortar stores that carry the 460- not sure but I think it might be a "web-only" product.

It was a mistake on either Amazon or Schwinn's part. Call Amazon at 866-423-5355 and tell them that they sent you a UK model. I called them, the Amazon guy thought that it was a switch or something on the head unit but he called his Naitilus rep anyway and 3-way'ed us. The Nautilus tech guy said that the model with the UK plug won't work in the US even with an adapter. Amazon sent me another one free of charge and covered shipping the first unit back. I had to spend an extra 2hrs dismantling the first unit and building the 2nd unit but everything works now.

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan

Eveyln, Pls see below: (I haven't purchased it yet but it's on my to do list) http://www.bowflexcatalog.com/bowflex_catalog/brands/schwinnfitness/accessories/prdcd~004-4150/Schwinn+Power+Adaptor.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302040902&bmUID=1292859249287&adID=DCBSHW&gotoproduct=1&sku=004-4150

to M Ford.....did you find one? We are in the same camp as you....this is the only model worth buying. It is flagged on the LitterMaid site as 'best seller' and now I am being told that it is discontinued, but the crappy blue/white ones are still being sold. this makes no sense! Anyone know where I can get one of the all-beige LM900s?

You're welcome. I would highly recommend going to a bike shop (one with great customer service) and get them to fit you. Also if you are really serious about biking go ahead and invest in a good bike..you can tell the difference in a $150 versus a $500 bike and up. Borrow someone's if you can, who has a good bike to see what you might want. I love my bike..I have a specialized dolce and it'll last me a long time. Good luck!

I have this bike on order and spoke to a sales rep for Prodeco before purchasing and asked him the same question. He said they're available from them for $22 ($12 + $10/shipping). You might want to call Prodeco and confirm this. Sounds reasonable to me.

Problem with this model schwinn & some of their other low-cost models like the volare is they do not give specific frame dimensions.. I have a 29" inseam, and when I stand with my feet on the ground above the frame on the volare, I just barely clear the top frame rail.. I have measured the seat post to crank pedal and it comes in at 18"..20" is approx. 51cm in bike talk,and a frame size considered small ok for someone my size,but probably not right for you..Schwinn offers similiar bikes based on the same design at walmart on-line( Varsity models)too bad about the bike sizing info,the volare has been a great value performing bike!

I have ordered this model and others.Yes they should come with the bolts, however, sometimes they don't. while the bolts are important, they are a minor part. Keep your old ones in case. If you don't have, or are damaged and they aren't supplied, purchase at local bike store, they are relatively cheap. should not be a deciding factor, considering the $ you save ordering them here. Or you can always order them here in-case, or contact the seller and ask directly(the actual seller, not Amazon). FIRST- make sure you know what size BB to order. The length is critical to proper functioning.

I had no issues assembling this bike, there were, however, parts missing(nuts and bolts) i replaced those got the bike together and went for a short ride to test it all out before i let my GF(who the bike is for) ride it. Well i immediately regretted buying the bike. The frame is bent and pulls to the right. i should have spent a little more and got a better bike. She seems to like it overall but she also regrets the purchase and i probably wont ever buy a bike off amazon again because of it Local Bike shops for me from now on. the 6 speed gears are a plus. having the baskets is nice but the whole bike seems poorly engineered.

Call Schwinn. Have the model number and stuff ready. You might be able to get them through a bike shop too.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here. The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

Although I do not know where to find the manual, I received a trainer last year for Christmas. Maybe I can help if you have a specific question. I really like mine. I have used three different bicycles on it so far. Feel free to contact me at tchr66@gmail.com if I can help.

Have to be careful of what you read on the internet. There are a lot of folks on this forum that don't own a bike nor have they even ridden one since kiddie tricycle days, but are completely engrossed into the space occupied by a supposed 16 pound bike they will not ever own....and that would cost at least $5,000. For a bike in this real world price range (under $500), 25 pounds would be quite light-weight and completely acceptable. The Northwoods I bought for my wife (this model), it is in the 25 pound range (21-24 pounds +/-) seems quite light and sporty. It is not at all clunky or heavy like some bikes you might buy at a department or hardware store. This bike has an aluminum frame and almost all allow gears and components which the dept store bike won't. You could buy this Northwoods with confidence and find it is quite a good ride. On the other side; in only a few rare cases is the shipping weight quoted in an ad anywhere close to correct, nor is the ratio of shipping weight to product weight consistent enough to make it useful.

Hello Beth, are you asking if there's a store that has the item to look before you buy or are you close enough to see mine?I just used mine to transport a Honda 250x on a round trip of 4 hrs and it held up great...I love it!!

Because they don't care Mark. This bike has serious design flaws and is stocked with sub standard parts from China and Pro Form makes (Made) a lot of money off this bike. I wish I had never purchased mine. I suggest you put a complaint on their FaceBook Page, you might get some help to repair one if you own it but they will not refund your money, it's gonna take a class action lawsuit for that to happen...sorry

This is hysterical. After I answered this question I went into "contact us" at ProForm to ask about the part for our bike but the contact us is down for maintenance. Guess what the sales is open for business as usual. Wayne
