Advantages: Hours of listening pleasure Disadvantages: You might need more room on your mp3 player
69 Love songs is a three disc "concept album" conceived by the prolific songwriter Stephin Merritt. He has several bands, the MagneticFields being but one. He has been quoted as saying he came up with the idea to write 100 songs about love "as a way of introducing myself to the world", but settled on 69. According to his website houseoftomorrow.com (which details all of his various incarnations) , he originally came up with the idea that the album would become a live musical revue with varying performers in different venues. The band did a limited tour of the album, possibly not to be repeated as Merritt always has a new project on the go.
In the summer of 2000 I queued for several hours (granted on a sunny summer's morn'!) to get tickets to see a free performance by the band in Battery Park, NYC. We obtained the precious tickets ...
Advantages: Reasonable kitchen, helpful installers willing to fix all snag issues Disadvantages: Expensive, poor communication at times, work overran slightly, chasing up required
say is that no job of this nature will be without issues during installation and the key is to stay calm, don't take it personally, don't annoy the installers and be polite yet firm with Magnet.
THE DECISION
To make sure I was getting a decent price on this, I got three separate quotes, from Magnet, Homebase and Moben. Homebase was cheapest, but I'd heard things about our local Homebase that put me off, and the salesman from Moben treated me like a fool, trying the hard sell from the off, so I didn't trust them. Instinct told me that the more expensive Magnet would provide the best service, and so I plumped for them.
THE SOFTISH SELL
As the local showroom is near work, I went in one day and arranged an appointment with a "designer" (or, more accurately, "salesman"). I was given a sheet of squared paper and asked to take ...

Advantages: Low cost magnetic resistance bike, pretty sturdy for the price Disadvantages: Seating position not necessarily the most comfortably, not great for shorter people!
My previous exercise bike of many years (mostly used as a clothes horse, but more recently brought into service in a determined attempt to get fitter and thinner) recently broke. Specifically, its resistance strap wore through and the ride became more like freewheeling down a hill than anything more energetic. With this in mind I decided to go for a bike with magnetic resistance. I settled on this one as, not only did it fulfil my criteria of a magnetic resistance system coupled with a relatively cheap price, but it was also foldable, and storage space is an issue in my house.
As is usual in my reviews, I'll discuss my reasons for my ratings in the 'Specific Criteria,' and include and extra section of general comments.
Durability
At £79.99 (when I bought it) this was the cheapest magnetic resistance bike I could find, which didn ...
