Nice, just like the French use!

By far the best stationary trainer I have been on. It is a shame they have discontinued making them. Very stiff, huge resistance adjustablility, great watt measurement accuracy. It is measured off axle speed of the unit. Wheel slip will have no effect on watts measured. Large flywheel. Very little heat buildup. Resistance is consistent from effort to effort.

Taylor found one on a Craigs List. Cay Eye just needs to incorporate better grapics remarket this trainer or sell the design patent. Originally they were forsale at $400.00. That is a steal for this level of quality.

I agree, it was quite impressive. Good solid feel, lots of resistance, nice heavy flywheel.

You got this used? How much?

I was able to find a few out on Craigslist for about 1/2 of their original $400 retail price.
