...in the gym, namely the Horizon Fitness Oxford II CS Rower. My first review was on the impeccable but expensive concept II rower, the benchmark for all rowing machines. The concept II comes in at over £1000 and is really pitched at the advanced/elite rower. However the Oxford II CS costs in the region of £400 making it a more affordable option, but is it any good?

Advantages: Excellent range of functions, comfortable, easy to use Disadvantages: I think its a touch expensive at £200
...for home use. Unfortunately the York C201 fits into that bracket, needlessly expensive to achieve the same results as much cheaper bikes.
Here is the reason for my annoyance:

Cycling is specifically designed to work out the lower half of the body. In particular the focus is on the quadricep muscles (Thigh's), the hamstrings, the calf muscles and the gluteals (your bottom)
