    I am not sure that amount of $$$ is going to get you much. I recomend Cybex.

    Look for used ones...those things last forever with some decent maintenence.

    check out locally owned gyms getting rid of equipment, used equipment stores, and the paper......rich people who dont ever use their stuff will part with it cheap if you come pick it up usually.

    also...you may be able to lease one fairly cheap....that is always a good option since you may get tired of it and want to switch to an elliptical or something later..plus your investment will be minimal in case it just turns into an expensive clothes hanger like mine did....and so did my treadmill ($2500)....now I just go to the gym and that seems to work better for me...lol.
    My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I just needed something to fry my bod on when my neighbors are home downstairs in the evening...sounds like the roof is caving in with me jumping around at night!

    Our high School just bought 7 CYBEX bikes and two gliders. Check with your local High school, see if they are getting rid of their old ones. We just gave ours away. THey were "Airdines" (?)

    No prob on updating...if i kept up more with the posts I would have know probably.

    i was thinking one of those cycling bikes may be a good investment as well...they are quiet....no electronics to break....and the tension is greatly variable...and they dont take up much space.....probably one of the best home cardio things to buy

    No bike, just run. If you want a machine, get an Elliptical.
