Trying to figure out what to get.. I want to do spinning. But there may be days i just want to pedel. So i was looking at one little spin bike, and another i am not sure, if it is a spin bike but i like how it is shaped.

It has the seat lower then handle bars slightly, so you can sit up strainght if youd like to. that is a plus. It is called a stamina indoor cycle1305. I like it, Becasue the picturelooks like it may be small, and i love the way the seat is lower ( that is good for back if i want to sit up).. But can you do spin with it?
Then i see one called a Marcy Club Revelution cycle. I like that one because of the size and it looks like one that is more sturdy. I guess my question is on the first bike can you still do a cycle video with it, you know what i mean intrevals and hills? Cathes dvd cycle max? Can i still get a good workout on it verses the Marcy Club one. If i get the Marcy Club one it seems like it can grow with it.. Im not sure what to do.. cannot do any step of joggin now. PF and lower back pain for now.. I need to find a workout that is easy on the joints.. Id appriciate any ones knowledge. Advice? I have an ellipitcal but it is off track somehow. My hubby tried to fix and he cant.. I dont want to spend that much on an elliptical again just to get it to brake in a matter of one year!! So sorry this is long but trying to explain best i can.
 
Both of them appear somewhat flimsy (and have ratings to back that up). Check out the Sunny spin bike (amazon sells it). Great for the price and someone on these boards had recommended it. It is solid and was a great purchase. With a spin bike, you can raise the handlebars up and sit more upright (then move them down as you improve ).
