Wanted: Turbo trainer

RossieMan · 10-08-2013 8:02pm #1

Alright boys and girls,
heres another newb cyclist looking for a Turbo.

ideally, i'd prefer it to be a fluid resistance one, but i'm open to others.

willing to spend up to €200 on it, as i can get an Elite Crona for 215 and that'd do all i need.

So anyone who may have something, drop a post and we may be able to sort something out.

Also, if anyones seen any nice offers out there please post them up.

You stay classy, or not.

I've a brand new fluid one on another thread looking for €80 collected €90 posted

RossieMan · 10-08-2013 10:54pm

hmm i'll keep it in mind, although at 90 euro i'd probably hold out for something a little more up-to-date.

thanks for posting,i;m sure someone might be interested.

maybe it's just that's its early, but i don't get this "joke" at all.

RossieMan · 18-08-2013 8:56pm

just said i'd give people one last chance before i go out and buy new.

i don't want to get fat, or wet.

After 1 session on a turbo trainer, both will seem like preferable options.
