    Hi Guys,

    Contemplating on buying a dedicated trainer bike that can also be used by my wife with no drama, her plan is to use it quite frequently after delivering the baby:P and not wasting money and time in gyms, narrowed down to CycleOps 400 pro and Proform Tour de France Centennial Bike, both pricy with the CycleOps being more expensive by nearly $1000. The reviews on the Proform are a bit controversial with some very good and some shocking but haven’t seen anything bad yet about the CycleOps, the ProForm have more whistles and bells, auto seat tilt adjustments and shiny 7″ screen, IFIT app and etc whereas the CycleOps seems to be more straightforward, looks more professional and easy adjustable for multiple users from short to tall.
    Wondering if anyone of the SPR fellas has used any of these for real and know where to source them in Aus. It’s quite a big investment/decision to make which likely requires me to sell the second bike (currently used as an indoor bike), trainer and set of wheels as they would become redundant to clear space and offset the cost so I don’t wanna go wrong, thoughts, recommendations, feedbacks are appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Nirvan
