Cycleops Indoor Cycles

Does anyone have experience with the Cycleops Indoor bicycles (e.g, the Pro 300 PT)?

I looked into the Pro 300PT a month ago. Looks like a nice cycle, I'd agree with you that the 300PT cycle with the power meter is the one to get.

BTW I inquired about the cranks and got a prompt reply from the Saris Cycling Group. The stock cranks are 172.5 and they will not initially offer any other size. They did not know the q-factor on the cranks.

I eventually went with a Kettler Ergo Racer although I had to swap the 170 cranks out (standard JIS tapers on the Kettler BB). The Kettler also measures watts like the 300PT though probably not as accurately as the PowerTap used in the 300PT. But it also doesn't use the felt brake pad to provide resistance like the 300PT which I wasn't crazy about.

300PT should be a great unit - either way, indoor training is boring but better than starting from scratch in March.
