The quality is fine, it adds to the workmanlike atmosphere of your true pain cave.

Thanks. I still need to get the usual race bib wallpaper up and build in some more storage just to the left of the work bench, but its coming along. I'd rather spend more time on the trainer than working on the room, so it may take a while to complete it. Michigan winters are long though so it will get completed before spring.

2 Fans up front, 1 big one out back (shocker style, yikes) Need to mount a big window fan up front over the laptop... But this works pretty well. Did my first sufferfest/trainer road workout of the year this weekend.

The previous owner had this basement room nicely built out with a pool table, made a perfect giant pain cave (and winter bike storage). Haven't needed to turn on the fireplace for a trainer ride yet :)
Had to replace a crazy hanging crystal light fixture in the middle of the room that used to be over the pool table, while it made for an elegant workout I kept smacking my head on it while on the trainer.

This is out on my apartment balcony where I throw all my shit. My wife likes to pretend it doesn't exist at all.

While it pales in comparison to some on this forum, here is my version of a pain cave. More like a kid cave with a very small corner for me. Just had the basement finished and with a long winter ahead (1-2 feet of snow projected tomorrow night), I'm looking forward to putting in some hours down here. Plenty of room for some free weights/stretching, a spot for my bike, and a full bathroom. I have the same couch! Don't be afraid to wash the cover with bleach after your kids puke/shit/make you spill coffee on it. Our first cover lasted two years of bleaching every month or two with lots of kid messes before we tossed it and put a new one on. IKEA rules for stuff that you can let your kids destroy.

Not a cave per se however it is my training grounds. Just outside the window is a view of the CN Tower (posted below) which distracts me just enough with the lights in the winter months. Summer months it's people watching as tourist come by the boat load to take a photo in front of it LOL

No pics, but the one thing I learned from this thread is I need a fan in front of my trainer. Thanks for that.

We moved into a new house a little over a month ago (after living with the in-laws for 13 weeks), and I've finally set everything up in the 'Pain Cave.' The treadmill was delivered this evening, and is ready for the white stuff to start falling here in New England.
For some reason, I'm having a hard time posting the picture from Flickr. The link isn't working when I try to use the picture post function (anyone know how to properly get the URL from Flickr to work?). Anyway, here's the link to the pic - please no comments on the awesome wall paneling that came with the house!

Not as fancy as your setup, but decided to add another bike to my stable. Got to still get some type of multi rider
running with these 3 Velotrons now. And I hope these units would allow us to have no warm up needed for the ride,
no power drifting during the ride, and correct power readings for each of us. I still need to get a second
50 inch plasma for the room.

How often do you have 2 or 3 riders? Looks very tight space for that many bikes.

Current thought. They are this close since just me. If and when I have more folks, I can spread them out since I would not need to get to the treadmill.
If that does not work, I can move the treadmill over. If that does not work, I remove the table top and move them around. Lots of opinions. (Could there be
room for 4? :) )
For now just need to get all three wired and working, gets some friends over to try out, and make sure works before I do to many other things in the room.
Have never really tried multi rider stuff so will be interesting to see what I can get to work.

Finally got around to cleaning up the basement/cave today. Disregard the big hole in the sheetrock - I have some springtime repairs to make.
What is the stand? Looks very nice.
