Thank you.
See attached screenshot, this is what I saw before I posted above. Just checked again. Same.
So I bought from Walmart Canada app. It worked. Just in case this happens to someone else. Hopefully it does not.
Thank you OP too. The youtube video you posted above sold me. It looks like a great deal and a lot cheaper than some other bikes they make.
They charged me for bike, $25 shipping & hst and the app says delivery on June 29th.

It's well-built, very solid and important to me: magnetic resistance means it's a quiet and smooth ride. Handlebar layout is great. Cage pedals are okay, might switch them out for clip-ons later.

I am not a spin studio junkie though I love spinning and prefer hill climbs than all-out speed. Resistance levels run from 1-32 and it's enough for my needs. I wish the resistance turn-knob was more like Keiser's resistance lever, easier to use.

Music makes all the difference so I do my own routine to my own music. I use the Echelon app for the real-time readings (speed, cadence, distance, time, calories). I don't subscribe to Echelon's classes ($), or use a third-party app like Strava or Zwift. When I need to be more challenged I'll try Peleton's free trial or see what's available on youtube.

How does the IC4 compare? From what I skimmed... resistance level goes to 100, has a charging port and includes a heartrate monitor. Flywheel is heavier? Their app isn't as well-rated. Might be a better fit for very tall riders.

These extras could make a big difference to some and people seem to really like their IC4. But your call if it's worth an extra $300. IC4 wasn't in stock when I was looking. All the Echelon reviews on Walmart are very true to my experience and they're mostly favourable.

Good luck with your decision!
