Wonderful! Glad it helped!

LOL. Thanks Brad. Working hard on them. So much to do and so little time.

Thank you Gigs!

My pleasure and very happy to hear it is working out so well! Now keep at it! 😀

That is what I like to hear! Glad you are feeling good about your purchase and hope you love it!

Hello Richard and thank you so much! It really depends on what you are looking for. For what it is, I thought this bike was really good. It is simple and does not have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what it was built for very well. Like Mark said, you can still hook it up to Peloton and get a great workout. My concern is for those that think this is going to mirror a Peloton experience. Different seat, no clip-in pedals, no mount so would need to figure out tablet mounting solution, no weight holders and so on. Hard for me to say if this is a good match for you because I don't know what you are looking for, but this is a good bike and could be a great option for a lot of people. Hope that helps!

@@Learnwithtravis I ordered and received the Echelon Connect Sport from Walmart. (Still waiting for the Sunny SF-B1714 to be delivered). I have done two 1-hour rides with the Echelon. PROS: Very quiet, very smooth, Using the Echelon App for Cadence, and using the Peloton App for the rides. CONS: Not much... but wish it had a more high end resistance. at it's highest resistance - sitting is tough, but when standing it could use a few more gears. Seat is so-so, Pedals so-so, wish the handlebars could be adjusted forward and back... but all in all... not bad for the price point. Still waiting for the Sunny to be delivered - 3 more days... still on the fence...

FYI... I was logged in other my other account when I comment...Sorry about that

Haha! Thank you so much kd mud! Those seats can be tricky because what fits and works for one person perfectly is another person nightmare. I do know a lot of people have enjoyed the Komfy seat cushion if you need a little cushion. I have a video about it somewhere if you need me to find it. 😀

@@Learnwithtravis Thanks for getting back to me. Would love to see that video, but no pressure, I can look up the seat. I just appreciate your response and all your attention to detail! Great day 😃

Hi Mark... My first choice was the Schwinn IC4, or the Bowflex C6, but they are out of stock on most sites with a sliding, optimistic delivery date of 10 weeks! I read many reviews on the Sunny 1714 model.. Some great some so-so... One major concern I had from several reviews was damaged-on-delivery as it seemed the packaging was suspect. In the end I wanted a good Magnetic resistance Spin Bike and saw this was available from Walmart... so I ordered it a few weeks ago... slated for delivery - Nov 27. I was waiting for Travis's review ...and came away with a so-so feeling. I had IC4 and C6 envy and hovered over the BUY NOW button on the Bowflex site.. but didn't' click... I then took another look at a) what bikes had good reviews and b) which ones were NOT out of stock. I looked at Echelons site... all of their Models are out of stock... but saw the scaled down version of the Echelon Connect Sport was available from Walmart....so... I ordered that this evening... Long story longer.... My Plan... is to return the Sunny 1714 model and keep the Echelon Connect Sport... but then I read your positive comment and I'm back on the fence.... My Plan was to do exactly what you have done.. Wahoo Cadence Monitor, Heart Rate Monitor (via Apple iWatch), and subscribe to the Peloton app.... but then I watched Travis's review.... and the loud sound, etc and subdued "it's an Ok bike..." etc made me re-consider my choice... QUESTIONS: Do you agree with Travis ... the sound is a bit loud? How many rides have you had? ...and how long have you had it ? I'm getting 2 bikes delivered in 2 weeks - this one and the Echelon connect - and will return one of them... Like all bikes - Some had the Sunny 1714 rated very high - missing the cosmetic extras ( display, sensor, Tablet holder, SPD Petals, etc) but a good solid bike. Other reviews stated either dead on arrival (damaged) or that after 3 months a loud clicking sound or that a pedal broke off - and more concerning was most indicated horrible Customer support from Sunny. I should mention I'm from Canada - and some reviews stated - warranty and/or support outside of US was nil. signed... conflicted in Canada :-)

@@richardpeters6456 I never felt like the bike made much noise. But bear in mind, I always ride with earbuds listening to music. I have ridden the bike 5 days a week for 9 months. I have been very happy with it. I am 6'4" and @#$% pounds. I have really been happy with my investment.

@@DrMarkWaller Thanks for the reply... 9 months - that's a good sample size for durability. As I mentioned, I'm getting this model and the Walmart Echelon version delivered next week - so I'll have to decide. Thanks!

Thank you so much for all that great information Mark! Good luck with your decision Richard. I have not tested the Echelon Sport yet, but my gut says you will pick the Sunny. Just a guess and I am very curious what you think. Also, to be clear, the sound from the 1714 is really not that bad. Most magnetic bikes I have tested are silent so I am comparing against that. This bike makes enough noise to annoy you only if you want silence. Otherwise, it is probably not a problem. To Mark's point of this bike being a beast, it is just built stronger with a focus on strength and resistance. While simple, if that is what you are going for, this can be an excellent bike. Plus, like Mark said, you can still add some features and get the Peloton experience. Hope you love one of them and let me know!

​@@Learnwithtravis Hi Travis.. I have been using the Echelon Connect Sport for about a week and 1/2 now. The Sunny SF-B1714 I ordered in early Nov, finally arrived last evening. As many others have reported ... Sunny does not seem to do well with their packaging/shipping... The box was delivered in a box that was quite damaged. Big chunk out of one corner was missing exposing the pedals and the other end of the box was split wide open. I did not want to risk opening and assembling for fear that the bike was damaged and then have to attempt to return to Walmart. I'm certain that the SF-B1714 is a better option than the Echelon Sport Connect I have - especially at high-resistance but following along with the Peloton classes I can still get in a good workout at about $250.00 less its not the best bike.. but good enough and I didn't want to chance assembling the (SF-B1714) with the box so damaged. So in the end - I returned the SF-B1714 back to Walmart this AM. Enjoying your reviews.... take care.

Great point and thank you for sharing Kris! I need to get around to testing Apple Fitness...

Sunny has a lot of options and from what I have seen, most are very good bikes and the main different is the features on the bike and if those work for you or not. If you want to ride more seriously, the pedal types you described are much nicer. (These can also be easier replaced if you find a model that is perfect for you but the pedals are the only problem. Hope that helps. Short version - Sunny seems to be really good as a whole, so pick the model that has the features that best suit you.

Hello Alan and no problem! I can't speak to what Sunny would say about being over the weight limit, but I do know I have heard a lot of people say they start by remaining in the saddle until their weight is appropriate for the bike. My assumption is that the biggest risk when riding over the limit is in the pedals as that is where all the force goes and when you ride out of saddle that force is magnified. So maybe starting in the saddle until your weight is in line with bike limits might be an option? As far as flywheel size, I doubt the 4lbs different would matter that much. I would probably focus on the bike that has the features you would enjoy more long term. The Peloton digital app can be loaded on quite a few devices these days. I would recommend checking out the website to see if you have anything compatible. Good luck Alan and hope this helps!

Thanks Jon! Somewhat depends on your situation and how you plan to use the bike. If you are hoping to find a Sunny Health and Fitness, I get the feeling that they are all good bikes and you can pick the one that has the features that best match to you. The 1805 and 1714 are both great bikes. Of the two, I felt the 1714 had a little better resistance (Both were good but I would give the nod to the 1714), it had a larger seat if you want more support, good adjustability, and I believe a great weight capacity so it is built strong. Not a lot of bells and whistles but a strong, great resistance, get the job done well bike.

No problem. Thanks!

Hopefully you saw my other reply and let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you Craig! I have not tested that one. What always throws me off about that one is the small flywheel. They usually say heavier is better, but I have to assume they figured out how to make it work or it would not sell and it would not have so many good reviews. The only other thing is that is only has 13 resistance settings. I usually like bikes with the knob because you can make micro changes. Push yourself a tiny bit harder or take just a bit of resistance off without making larger swings. If that does not sound like a big factor to you, this sounds like a great bike. Those are the only things that stand out to me. Hopefully I can test it some day.

Thank you for asking this question! I just purchased the B1709, and would love a review!

Have been wanting to do that one! Will do my best!

Absolutely! You may need a mount for your phone/tablet and wahoo cadence sensor if you want your pedal speed on Apple devices.

@@Learnwithtravis thanks!

I need to test that one. It is interesting because it has a much smaller flywheel that most bikes. I am not sure what that does to the ride and resistance feel. I am assuming they figured out how to make it work. Outside of that unknown, it looks like a nice bike!

@@Learnwithtravis Would love to see this one reviewed as well! Thank you for the reviews!

Just looked and I don't think so. It has moldings around it and is pretty tight near the frame and other parts. Sorry!

@@Learnwithtravis thanks for checking!

Thank you! I have not tested the 1852 but I would probably be between that model and the 1714. The 1714 has a slightly heavier flywheel but the 1852 is normally a much higher priced bike on a Black Friday discount. I would say pick the one that has the features that more tied to how you would use it, but the 1852 is looking like a really nice deal! Hope you love whatever you decide to go with!

@@Learnwithtravis thanks for the response Travis. So now it's between the B121021 and the 1852. Would u still go for the 1852.

The thing with these Sunny bikes is most of them are great and very alike but with small differences so you pick the best option for you. I would find the one that checks off the most boxes and go with it!

I have only tested the 1805, but the biggest question I would ask yourself is how you plan to ride this? If you are going to be doing light to medium aggressive rides, I think any model could work and you can pick the one that has the features you prefer. If you plan to do intense rides and want the bike to really push you and have better top end resistance, I am leaning towards the Pro or 1805. But I am guessing a bit as I have not rode them myself.

Sure thing. Go ahead and email me at learnwithtravisyt@gmail.com and I can try to help answer your questions!

Keep in mind that I have not tested the sf-b1002 yet, so my take is a little one-sided. But...the 1714 has a 50 LBS higher weight limit which makes me believe it is built stronger. This is what I noticed when I tested it - built strong. The resistance on the 1714 seemed up to the task that a 300 LBS person would throw at it. So I would probably lean towards recommended the SF-B1714 but that does not mean the 1002 would not be a great option as well (weight limit is listed at 275). Good luck Zimrri!

@@Learnwithtravis thank you so much!

Between the two bikes I received, the 1714 had better top end resistance and range which I think would be important based on your needs. The seat is more of a casual ride seat so you may want to figure out if that works for you (it can always be replaced as well). But I am leaning towards the 1714 due to better resistance.

I thought that bike seemed very well built and like it could handle a lot. If you are looking for something simple but strong, this seemed like a really good option.

I pay for them. Eventually I need to sell them and get my money back but I keep coming up with video ideas and never getting rid of them... 😅

Been a while since I was on the IC4 but I think they were very comparable. The IC4 will come with a cadence sensor built in if you want to use that with an App. But for ride quality and resistance, I believe they were very close.

Nope. Most of the higher end bikes have a more narrow seat design so you may decide you want to change that out, but no. Is a strong build capable of the resistance ranges you need. You can stand and sit for in saddle\out of saddle ride segments. Highly adjustable. Great bike and I don't see anything that stands out that would restrict you from doing that.

@@Learnwithtravis thanks for the quick reply. I have some nice cleats and pedals that I’m gonna use - so I should be all set! Thanks again!

The Peloton Bike+ is a very high end bike but as far as resistance quality and ability to have good range (easy to very hard resistance) this bike did very well. I was very impressed with the resistance I think most people would find it to be high quality and challenging. As far as maintenance, properly cleaning the bike after workouts so the sweat does not get to places and start to cause build up. Past that, I would see what the manufacture recommends but it is usually not that much work.

@@Learnwithtravis thanks for the info

I don’t have that bike anymore to look at and help. I think it should be able to be put back on and tightened. Sorry wish I could help more but don’t have anything to look at.

@@Learnwithtravis no thanks for trying. I will try to see how I can fix it up.

Sure can!

@@Learnwithtravis thank you! Another follow up. I’m thinking of buying this instead of the B1002 with the leather pad. Mainly because i prefer the handle bar style on the magnetic model. Do you think it’s worth the 400$ price increase in Canada?

LOL - I think 11 at the moment and I know... that is crazy. I have to sell them eventually to get my money back, but I have comparison videos I want to do and an overall video that features and compares them all. After that, it is time for them to go!

I’ll wait until you declare which one’s the best haha

amzn.to/2UAnEWG 679.99 as of right now.

@@Learnwithtravis Thank you

Just got mine!!!!🙂👐

It is in the works. Just need more time to test and this was a quicker video. The Stryde has been assembled and testing is underway. Probably my next video.

@@Learnwithtravis okay I’m waiting for it.

@@Learnwithtravis I’ll buy your Stryde bike for $1000 dollars cash.

@@martinaheadspeth4733 I have multiple more videos to make with it so I have no idea when it will be for sale. Sorry!

@@Learnwithtravis okay, still waiting on the review though.

It is on my list! I do hope to get to that one, I just need to work my way through some of the bikes I have first, but completely agree Roger. Thanks!
