So was this a good deal?!

Hi I'm new but I come across what I believe to be a steal. Now I don't know really anything about the cycling community as I'm a motocross rider. I recently bought a Star Track Johnny G Pro spin bike from a local flea market for TWENTY DOLLARS. Now I have done my research and realize these are older bikes and a lot of times are worn out, but everything on it seems to be in great shape. Plus the fact that I looked up prices for the things and they range from $400-900 bucks depending on condition. So basically what I'm asking is, did I get as good of a deal as I think I did or I'm I a little over excited?

Yeah if it works, 20$ is obviously ridiculously low for this.

Although you will find that it's boring as hell and may not actually get your money's worth : D

The fact that it is boring as hell is why this machine sold for $20 and why there are lots of used stationary bikes for sale. A good MP3 player and headphones will help.

Hah oh yeah I realize it's going to be boring but I'm not worried about that. I just needed something indoors when it's too cold or too late to be out running or doing any other cardio. I've always got an iPod so that won't be an issue.
