Mike Zee listed a bike erg right by the house for $920. Since Nisha was home and I could check the saddle height, I went ahead and decided to take a look. The adjustment was sufficient for her and hopefully goes low enough for Ratna as well.

The desk attachment is actually pretty cool. It is a product called Wally Board and comes in Black, Natural, Walnut and Raw Wood. The stained ones are $180 and the raw wood is $160.
The Venzo K1304 pedals are flip flop and will work with Shimano SPD cleats (mountain bike) if I were interested.
He was willing to take $900 cash which was fair as far as I am concerned. Aside from the random $800 listing, most are listing around $975 and the last one sold for $940. This saves a few bucks ($1100 +$60 shipping + $60 tax = $1,220 to the door retail) and was very close to the house.
The desk is worth another $50 easily and I am not remotely concerned with getting my money back or worst case selling for $800.
My wife did not think the saddle was very comfortable. A new one can be attached without much issue. The problem will be finding one that she likes.
Other accessories could include:
T27 6-Lobe Driver - $2.50
Toe Clips - $5.50
Right Pedal - $13.80
Left Pedal - $13.80
Banner - $30.00
UPDATE: 7/5/2024 - We have had a few sessions on the bike and am really happy with the purchase. I did go ahead and order the pedals, toe clips, (2) drivers and (2) phone holders. The parts themselves were really inexpensive. I was just trying to maximize my $10 shipping.
