Now a few years since this thread was started - by this point do you think that there is a smart trainer that rivals the Lemond Revolution for “feel”?IMO there's still nothing like it. It's like riding with a tailwind on smooth road... with a new chain.... on a sunny day. There's something about it being 'non digital' that appeals to me.

If not, what do you reckon comes closest?The Stages Bike SB20 with the huge cheese-wheel flywheel is close... but still no LeMond. And it's bolted onto an immovable object (the SB20 is a TANK!).
At the end of the day most of the top end trainers are now much of a muchness. They're quiet, interactive, compatible, (mostly) accurate, and provide exactly what they're designed to do. People will debate Kickr vs Neo all day long trying to justify their choices. There's no correct answer on that one. The ride feel of the Kickr feels like it has a little more 'kick over' in a larger gear, but the NEO2T feels like it has closed the gap there with the updated magnet layout/brake strength.
