FOR SALE:

Vetta Wind Trainer
----- ---- -------

For those who don't know, this is for keeping in shape when weather or other
stuff prevents you from cycling outside.  It allows you to convert your bike
into a stationary exercise bike.  You mount your bike on it, and it provides
resistance to your pedaling by means of rollers connected to either magnetic
resistance devices or fans.  (Sorry rec.bike.vets but this is a crosspost.)

Features of this trainer:
    * It is the fan type:  rollers have an approx. four inch diameter
      cylindrical fan wheel on each side
    * Choice of using either 1 or 2 rollers, i.e., 2 or 4 fan wheels (I think
      one roller is a bit too easy, if you want the truth)
    * Rollers' positions are completely adjustable to accomodate wheel size
    * Front fork of bike sits in an axle-like support feauring a quick-release
      skewer for easy mounting (but you must remove your front wheel first)
    * Bottom bracket tube rests on another support, whose height and front/back
      position are fully adjustable to accomodate frame size.  The frame is 
      safely clamped into place at this support by a "T" which is inserted
      between the two horizontal bars of the rear forks and screwed down tight.
      Frame contact points here are padded to avoid scratching and frame
      damage. 
    * "Leg-span" of trainer is nice and wide, so you won't tip over unless you
      REALLY TRY!
    * Everything adjusts by means of a single Allen wrench (i.e. hex wrench)
    * It's black, and in good shape.  Fairly clean.
    * Can be fully dis-assembled and made compact for transport.

Price:  $80 plus shipping if you want it shipped.  Right now it's located in 
        Ithaca, New York, and it weighs about twenty pounds, so you know.  You
        might also be able to talk me down on the price a bit, depending what
        offers I get.  Who knows?!

Respond any way you see fit!
