Is that a TA chainset?
Could be a Stronglight or a customised campaign.
I don't remember TA having flutes on the cranks but I can't zoom in enough on my phone to see the logo.
No idea!

Again!
Mind you otherwise it would have been the Dom Rep which might have been a little battered right now.
We are staying in Sapphire Falls ( very nice it is too) just across the road from Universal.
Off to Discovery Cove for a lazy day tomorrow.

Good stuff! I had a great day at universal studios in LA a few years back. Getting a photo with the van they used in the A Team was probably the highlight. I have a feeling things have probably moved on a bit since then...

@TurboTommy I'd be interested in what you think of the WattBike Atom when you get it and start to use it in anger. I can't afford/justify just a power meter for my Boardman, but if I do come to replace the BKool Pro then it would be either a direct drive turbo or something like the WattBike.

I've used training bikes before in gyms and they didn't feel like riding a real bike so be interesting if these are better.

Maybe next year I'll move to a more realistic 'power' trainer so that @bobinski can keep up with me on Zwift :laugh: Demotion from Cat B to D will be almost certain :cry:

You might ping Geoff -- he had a kickr v1 that was gathering dust. I was interested, but the shipping would be a killer...
