For anyone planning on using this with an Android device and Peleton... don't bother. I tried at least four different Andoid devices and it wouldn't pair properly, but had no issues pairing with my wifes IOS devices. I'm really not looking for classes or leaderboard stuff anyways... just want to ride. I had a free year with Peleton from my insurance company which is why I gave it a shot.
The main issue I have is, the speed seems to be calibrated way off on mine and I have been too lazy to dig in to it and see if it's a common issue or if there is a way to recalibrate it. I've really only been using this as a "dumb" bike for no other reason than I was just too lazy to try the Peleton alternatives (but I do plan on trying FulGaz in the near future). I just get on and ride for "x" amount of time every night, but the speed being off is a bit annoying.

Would you recommend this over IC3 which doesn't have the ability to be connected with any app and has only basic meter display included with it.
How much do you rely / need a Bluetooth functionality?
Also, IC3 is mechanical vs this model, IC4, which has magnetic resistance.
IC4 is $800, IC3 is $550.
Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if it will come back (doubtful), but there was a really nice deal on the Bowflex C7 a couple weeks back. So maybe keep an eye out for that one in case it does pop back up. The C7 is very similar to the IC4 but has the screen (made by same parent company).

Personally I prefer Echelon EX3 b/c it looks better. I will wait for Echelon EX5 this BF

I am leaning more towards IC3 due to the inclusion of small basic LCD monitor, whereas EX3 doesn't have any monitor.
Would you have some insight to help me to make a decision?
Thanks a lot.
However Schewinn IC4 has a PDA size console to display time, calories, speed, distance, level, etc. That looks outdated to me. I would bring my iPad when exercising so I can monitor those information in the app.
I also do not like the square shape of the head tube in IC4.

Just for Bluetooth connectivity to Apps, does one have to buy an almost $250 more bike!
Any insight / suggestions?
Thanks
