Exercise Bike parts needed - 09/13/04 06:16 AM

I need a belt for my Mom's stationary bike.
It's a Chaparral "Silent Cycle" Model #2200.

I can't find anything on Google or Ebay.

Any ideas?

Thanks. She really needs the bike as it helps her with her replaced hips.

Hmm, you did a search on Google for the manufacturer and can't find it?

Do you recall where she got it?

Paja...my Uncle owns a bicycle shop in MO...let me write to him and see if he can help you. Even if he doesn't manufacturer exercise equipment, he might know who does. I'll check

Mom bought the cycle at a yard sale. The lady said it was like new having been used only a couple times. Mom said she's not had it long.
I Googled by several terms and sub-searched for specifics also.

Thanks JJ. maybe someone in the profession will have ideas. I'll ask Mom if she still has the broken belt, too. That might give me hints.

She lives in Maine and I'm in NC.

Thanks again.

Paja call a local bike shop or someone who advertises rebuilt bikes and they may be able to rig something. [Big Grin]

Thanks, JJ.
I called Mom. She thinks Dad still has the belt. I suggested he take it to a lawn mower shop. She says the belt is half thickness of little finger. Hey, maybe an old sewing machine belt. You think?
