Looks like a similar turbo trainer to me but quite sure my bike is a lot cheaper!

You need to get out and get it dirty :roll: My Focus has survived all weathers, but needs a good clean every so often. Never a hardship really.

Fell off on Boxing Day trying to cycle across a section of shiney ice - knackered my shoulder :roll:
Just had a nice wee run today +13degC :shock: Legs work, belly bulging over lycra :lol:

Come on Phil. It's cleaned after I use it.

Does anyone wear a helmet when on their trainer?

How are you finding that trainer? Would it be too noisy to use in a flat without disturbing the neighbours do you think?

Yeah, quite noisy but then I've nothing to compare it to.

Ordered a Road bike this weekend (as can no longer keep up with Sandra on my mountain bike whilst she's on her road bike)

Put a deposit down on 2 bikes:
Focus Variado 3 0 Variado from EBC for £600, EBC does not show on web site now but suspect similar to this: http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/focus-va ... 75565.html

Fuji Robaix 2.0 from Evans@ for £850
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/fuj ... e-ec031216

Both are refundable based on the ride but if I find both of them comfortable is one better than the other or is there £250 difference in the Fuji?
