I'm on the treadmill now. It is a Pacemaster (brand) Silver Select (model)
Here's a review with a picture:
http://www.treadmilltips.com/pacemaster ... dmill.htmlYou can see a bit of daylight under the display panel. Dh took a piece of thin board (actually it was the back of an old stereo stand, cut to size) and slipped it through. It won't slide back or forward because he put a blocks of wood on the top and bottom that serve as stoppers. I covered it with mac tac so it looks nicer.
On the recumbent bike, he took the piece of counter that was cutout for the bathroom sink and mounted it on two pieces of hockey stick (hardwood so very strong) It slides over the front hand bars and under the structural support bar that that the display is attached to and is thus held in place by leverage.
The bike is a Diamondback. They don't make our model anymore and you couldn't attach a shelf to the news ones easily.
I'd look for somebody who is downsizing to a condo with a gym and looking to get rid of their home gym equipment and buy top quality equipment, used. Go to a fitness equipment store and see if they know of any customers looking to sell.
You asked about quietness. Both are whisper quiet. Which means you hear the hum of the motor (treadmill) and pedals (bike - it is self powered so doesn't plug in.) It is easy to hear the tv overtop the motor noise and when I turn off the treadmill, the tv sound isn't blaringly loud.
BUT both are in our 'exercise room' (ds's old 8.5 x 11 bedroom) and on the ground floor it sounds like super quiet dishwasher. My foot-fall on the treadmill then causes a thunk with each step through the joists. Obviously, it would be much quieter for others if the equipment was in the basement and cooler in the summer, but we love being able to look out the window and only have to stumble the 10' from our bedroom to start exercising. No excuses to get distracted on the way to exercise! (My old laptop is set up permanently, I fill and leave a water bottle in the holder before I go to bed and have my exercise clothes laid out on the foot of my bed. I've stopped wearing a bra while exercising since that was one more piece of clothing to struggle with while barely awake - dh bikes in bare feet and what he wears to bed so hasn't got any dressing to do before getting on the bike.
