Pro Form TdF stationary bikes
Does anyone have any real world feedback on these? Just ran across them....

Looks a little gimmicky but I like he fact that the bike inclines with the "grade." Still trying to sort what brand of power meter they use

It doesn't appear to have ANT+ or Bluetooth, much less external erg control.
For me, those would be bare minimum requirements as I use PerfPro and Cycleops VirtualTraining (used to use TrainerRoad).
For a lot less you could buy a Kickr or one of the Tacx Smart trainers.

Yeah, the tilt thing is a gimmick. Not heard anything good, and see them used on ebay often. A kickr or ct and a good cheap video program like veloreality would be better.

Seems the Computrainer with an investment in ERG VIDS could be a comparative suggested purchase?

Also have a look at the Cycleops Powerbeam.
