    Sorry for any confusion caused or any rule breaks
    But yup, 56cm LOOK on the bay is mine (wri101) and not the one this thread was originally started for. I've basically taken the entire bike apart and put it up for grabs.

    Both rollers and turbo have a place in bike training in a country with terrible weather.

    Rollers will help you become a more efficient rider (better balance, smoother pedal stroke, better use of core muscles, etc), which means a higher percentage of your energy output is making the bike go forward rather than 'bleeding' out into unnecessary movement. We all know a rider who can't ride without bobbing their head and shoulders from side to side...
    While a turbo is great for lactic acid training, max effort sprints, etc where you'd soon get tired and be in too much pain to not fall off the rollers before you've finished the session.
    As for Colm's original question about what would be best after a heavy squat session, that depends on what part of your training cycle you're in and what your training goals are.
    Either way, both are pretty darn useful in the lovely British weather...!

    The person I dealt with re storage was VCL member, Tom Freke.
    Not sure what the rules/etiquette are about posting people's contact details on the forum, but I'm sure if you ask another VCL member, they'll be able to help you get a message to him. Good luck!
