Anyone own one of these? Is it as good as some claim it to be? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Pro Form Tour de france

Don't buy this if you're expecting a realistic workout. the RPM's are not measured correctly, in fact I estimate it is measuring only half of the actual RPM and as a result the bike speed is half of what it should be.
To prove this I mapped a ride that I often do on my real bike and using the proform it took me twice as long as I normally take when riding for real.
When I contacted their customer services about this it was clear they didn't know much about their own product. And didn't care.
So in summary, not at all satisfied...
