still looking for a trade.....anyone?

Any interest in trading for a Tacx Cosmos?

New head unit as of August 2008.

Excellent condition.

Maybe....how old is the trainer unit itself? I'll need to brush up on the Tacx - I'm not as familiar with it. If there's any significant similarities/differences you'd like to point out between that and the CT, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Brent

The trainer was new in Fall 2007 (purchased in March 2007, but not pulled out of the box until September 2007).

The Cosmos is the standalone head unit (no PC required to operate it). It can be adjusted to run Virtual Reality videos, but the real value is the fact that you do NOT need to hook up to a PC to run complex interval workouts. It can store something like 350 hours of training in its memory before you need to download the workouts to a PC for analysis.

I think it has pluses and minuses compared to a CT.

Pluses: Standalone unit with upload/download capability. Better resistance unit than CT (allows very low RPM/High Power workouts). Uses USB vice Serial Port (I think this makes it a bit more up to date). If you add the VR adaptor, the video/VR is superior to CT.

Minuses: No SpinScan... That a CT differentiator. A smaller U.S.-based group of people trading courses.

Thanks for the info. I've got an 8 hr plane ride this evening to ponder my decision. I'll let you know one way or another in the next day or two.

Thanks,

Sorry Jonathan....didn't give you the answer I told you I was going to give. I think I want to stick with a Computrainer vs. a Tacx.
