Spin bike

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap spin bike?
I was just going to get one online but there’s so much choice! I don’t want to spend the money on a peloton, I’ve got gym membership and manage to get to a class or two a week but would love to do one or two at home too for the weeks that the class times aren’t working out for me!
I don’t need anything fancy, I can get my virtual gym class ones online so once my phone is propped up I can follow along.
It’s going in my home office, will be a bit of a squeeze but I’m rejigging it about today to make a bigger clearer space for it.
If you’ve got one would you recommend it?
Less than about £500 I think.
My sister in law got one from eBay for about £30 and said it was amazing but i’ve messaged her to ask what it was and she doesn’t have it anymore!

I would wait for a couple of months and then check Marketplace for a second hand one - loads of people will have bought new ones at the beginning of January but then given up on the whole 'New Year, New Me' plan!

Haha not a bad idea 😂

I think a barely-used good quality second hand one would be better than a cheap new one? I do two spin classes a week at the gym and you definitely need a decent one!

I’ve just picked one up and put it in my office!
pretty happy with it, I looked on Facebook marketplace for the first time and found a pretty good one barely used, missing the display so I’ve ordered a replacement but the bike spins nicely.

Result! How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Happy spinning! 🚴🚴🚴
