855326
i got to try both of them out in a store they both feel really smooth but i went with the Nautilus e514 it just felt a bit more sturdy and has a nicer display the schwinn 420 display was kinda hard to read as the Nautilus was light up bright with big nurbers and imo is the better buy ...... i had my Nautilus e514 for 4 months now and i use every day and its still like the 1st day i brought it .... and im only 5"4 so we are pretty much the same hight ' good luck on your work outs and hope my review helps

I have two of them and they are on two different bikes. Neither of the bikes a Schwinn and they fit great.

I have the large foam padded seat on my Schwinn 213, and tried the 230 at Academy Sports yesterday. The seat was too hard and too short for me. I'm 6'0", 250 lbs., and the front of the seat dug into my upper leg and hurt as I pedaled.

Go with the Saber. The handlebars are adjustable fore and aft as well as up and down. Also, the handlebars can be changed at your local bike shop to accomodate your personal preference; Saber utilizes regular BMX convention for the stem/bar combination.

But if your thinking about this bike I would get a tern instead. I had this bike and although it was a very good bike it just didn't feel nearly as solid as when I test rode a tern link d8. Tern is the company founded by the son of the founder of Dahon. His bikes cost a bit more but are well worth it. Dahons aren't as solid feeling as terns. If this doesn't bother you than go with the Dahon. I've tried both though. Good luck

The biggest difference is you are going to get more RPM's with the 5023 model compared to the 5011. Plus the 5023 model is lighter than the 5011 model. You will also get better functionality with the 5023 model.

Don't know, can tell you this though. I bought two and both are out of commission. Cheap build, didn't last one trip. Go with Shimano or Penn

I have had no problems with my Schwinn. I would recommend going back to the manufacturer.

not sure about the trek. But works really great with my Schwinn. A little loud with Nobby dirt tires but would work better with street tires. Easy to put on and remove.

I would call the customer care center at nautilus. The number for Customer Care is 800-605-3369 or email them at customerservice@schwinnfitness.com. I called them and they fixed two problem that I had with the bike. One was with the fly wheel, and they sent a service man out, the other was a problem with the brake that needed silicone. They fixed both problems well with no charge.

Nautilus R514 Recumbant post: Your review is good - and not having seen these two sister products side-by-side, I would definitely say that the Schwinn display looks more updated (color, etc.) while the Nautilus looks bad. You did miss one thing: the R514 has a 'powerful fan.' Now, I like that feature, but I can get the 240 for $399 including tax and shipping. That means that for $150 I get a better warranty and a fan, but many of the reviewers on various sites have said that the fan is, in the words of Charles Barkley, TURRIBLE! So I agree with you, and am going to order the Schwinn. Using an external fan may not be chic, but it probably works better and it's free (top shelf of my hall closet :-)). Thanks for the fine review - well done.

I like my 31" cruiser long board better. It's easier to ride no hang ups on anything

Well if you like recumbent bikes the Schwinn 220 is a great choice. If you buy it at Academy you can get it for just $299.00, which is about $50 lower that what it sells for online and you don't have to pay postage, just local tax. It's gotten excellent reviews and you won't be disappointed.

Can't find that info anywhere. 420cc is the only spec available as far as ?I can tell

I can't speak for the Schwin 230 as I just ordered mine from Amazon last nignt. But I will soon be 65 and having, been married for 44 years, we have purchased many products w/o the extended warrany -- so we saved a bundle. They are money makers for the stores that sell them, I'll take my chances and if I have to pay a few buck to get something fixed once in a while, I'll do it (or just replace the product with an upgraded model.

I have purchased both for my 27 Schwinn, 1979 model, and all fits. had to pry fork at front to make rim seat properly but had no problems with either. good for touring as well
