Choice of Elliptical Trainers?

[SV-1]

The best advise I can give you is don't buy one till you try it. I don't care what the specs are, different models and/or brands of machines that are supposed to be almost identical can feel completely different. And what fits one person perfectly, can feel totally awkward to someone else.

My elliptical decided to crap out on me this weekend. I spent all day Sunday trying dozens of new models ranging from $400-$3800 (my model is no longer made). Not one of them fit me like the one I have, so now I'm hoping that between a good bit of welding and a machine shop I can resurrect mine.

Very true and this is the main reason i am going into the city tommorow to see if i can find a shop that sells them.
