Default Spin bikes

Does anyone have any recommendations for buying a spin bike?

As far as I can tell, most are similar. I'm hoping to stay on the cheaper side so no magnetic resistance. I'm worried about the resistance taking a beating if I go hard on it. Don't need an electronic display nor a particularly comfortable seat. Just good resistance that will last and a fair price.

Any suggestions?

I've moved exclusively to my trainer for winter riding and my spin bike is collecting dust. If you're interested in a good non-magnetic spin bike (Impulse PS300) I'd be willing to sell ($300). It's solid and in great condition. DM me if you want to come by and take a look.

I've thought about it but it's what, a few grand for a decent road bike and couple hundred for the trainer? Unless I used an old mountain bike on a trainer but how would that be for upping the resistance and standing?
