I still ride a very elderly Elite Volare turbo with an even older Giant TCR bike on it. . I have ‘upgraded’ to a set of single sided power pedals though.

I ride to power/heart rate and spend much of the winter (Dec to mid Feb) on board here in the U.K. when doing intervals I ride bloody hard on it though and like the simplicity of not faffing about, just me, some tunes and a small bike computer.

Briefly used Zwift, found it uninspiring but I’m sure it would have been better with a smart trainer.

The main reason for still using it is cost, I don’t earn a fortune and can’t justify the cost of a ST, prices are coming down though so maybe get one at some point.

I really don’t feel I’m missing out and that other people with ST’s have advantage, my bike times are at the sharp end of my age group.
