I have a very old road bike and a turbo and have thought about fettling the BB on the bike and getting the ANT dongle to go on Zwift.

However my wife has said that she would like an exercise bike (road bike is too big for her)

So I am asking for any recommendations for a good exercise bike - can any of them hook up with Zwift?

(Ideally I would like a Wattbike - but don't want to spend so much!)

What's the difference in price between getting an exercise bike and getting a cheap bike in her size and sticking it on the turbo? That way she'd be able to ride outside when it warms up.

edit - and also do some Zwifting herself if she fancies it.

Its a good thought if the bike is the same size as the turbo bike for me to make for easy switching!

Not sure if that would limit her use if I am not there though

She already has a bike for using outside!

I got an ex gym proper spin bike with a 25kg flywheel and fixie pedals off fleabay for £125, spent another £25 on a polar head unit, cadence and speed sensors on pinkbike. It's great, kids and wife use it too without chance of breaking it, separating bike from turbo, chain crap on carpet etc. In fact I might have a go tonight
