For Sale: Tacx iFortius VR Trainer

This has been advertised in the breaks in the TdF coverage:

^That's obviously stock footage, mine looks like this:

These are the machines that Cadence Cafe have lined up- you can climb a virtual Ventoux, or re-run your favourite ride from the GPS file that your Garmin saved.

The roller gives precise resistance based on virtual gradient, or you can set it- so for example if you want to do a 2X20 training session you can set it to run at 150 watts (spinning) then 300 watts for 20 minutes/break/20 minutes.

A key advantage is that this also gives you power figures- so you can correlate heart rate (perceived effort) with power (actual effort) to track your training.

These are around the £700 mark new, so save yourself £500 and pay me £200 for this one.

Entertainingly, when the roller is in braking mode you are actually feeding power back into the grid, so this turbo will reduce your electricity bills whilst you get fit.

hmm i though my lights at home were burning slightly brighter recently
dammit must have been climbing ventoux

just don't blow up the grid

Are you going to power the Olympics single handed Dicki?

Dammit, I'll take it.

PM on the way

Sold to Bainbridge pending delivery/payment/yada yada

Odd question. Dammit you don't have one of the round 'nut' like fittings that go on the wheel clamp going spare?

I'll have a look.

Neil - I'm veto-ing Nick's dibs.

He has been told several times he is not allowed to buy a fucking turbo trainer- he quite enough of a monster already.

No problem- a dibs veto is available for £250.

Would you like me to send you my account details?

Ugh. This suddenly sounds expensive.

Perhaps I can just maim his face or something - at least that way he won't be faster than me and devilishly handsome.

Or you could just train harder.

shutup d***

Demeau.

who's that? I heard his name mentioned at a dinner party?

Anyway, all this injokery.

Oh. Test?
That's a good one. You won't get caught by the "sir! sir! he's not done three proper posts sir!" mob with that one.

This thread has gone weird

I blame demeau

2nd dibs on the off chance...

I've got this as well Sanddancer?

I've heard nothing from Cedywedy recently.

Cheers, but I'm set for poverty spec turboing and rollering. It's the whizzbang computer turboing of the future that I'm desperate to try out.
