    FS: Tacx Cycletrack

    I've got a Tacx Cycletrack trainer for sale. Located in Bristol. It's in excellent condition - hardly used. Fan in perfect condition. Comes complete with quick release skewer. Just a few surface spots on the flywheel which would come off with a quick rub.... Let's say £20.....
