Sold: $710
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2006 CycleOps Pro 300PT indoor trainer on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The trainer was purchased new at Cyclemania in Portland, Maine in 2006. The owner used the trainer for three years. It was shipped to Southern California and spent two years in storage on an outdoor balcony there and was used occasionally during that time (understandably). It was shipped from California to Maine in 2011 and it has spent most of the year in storage in a basement. The computer was replaced under warranty in 2010. The trainer features a Cycleops Power Tap (Version 1.1), adjustable resistance settings, adjustable seat post, handlebars and saddle, aero bars, arm rests, a sweat guard, a heart rate monitor strap, and a pair of wheels. The odometer reads 685 miles. The trainer weighs about 150 pounds. This trainer pedals like a fixed gear bicycle. There is no freewheel that allows the rider to coast. Software and seat not included. Pedals and toe straps included
Review of condition
The trainer is in good condition. It is clean, operable and fully assembled. The power tap computer shows watts, speed, distance and heart rate data. The resistance adjustment feature works properly. There is no play in the cranks. The chain does not skip. Frame and Wheel highlights the following: the rear wheel is not true. There is corrosion on the wheel and on the brakes. The rear brake cable is frayed.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view on this trainer is that it will make a good training device for a cyclist who wants to train with power and who has the space for something of this size. Although the rear wheel is out of true, it does not affect the operation of the trainer: the user is still able to set and control the resistance level. This trainer is not easy to move , it can be complicated to adjust the resistance mechanism and the fixed gear set up takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, the new owner will be able to obtain an excellent work out on this machine, once it is finally in place.
