Price Paid:  $5.00 at REI clearance bin

Favorite Ride:
Down rainy seattle hills

Bike Setup:
Sweet black Poch with shimano 600 shizzle.

Summary:
Chunky and beastly looking. surprisingly light. comes off more intense than heavier anorexic-looking sets.

Price Paid:  $39.00 at Supergo

Favorite Ride:
Anything not on the trainer

Bike Setup:
1998 Lemond Reno/Ultegra 9-sp/Vector Comp

Summary:
Purchased the 130, and nearly gagged upon opening the box as the profile makes it look enormous. Looks pretty trick and offers plenty of resistance when sprinting for the city limit sign or climbing. Not light, but functional for the price. Have had some difficulty with bars slipping down slightly. Twice I have had them rotate downwards 5-7 degrees or so, but no further. I am considering using an aluminum shim and loctite to prevent any further shifts.

Strengths:
Looks, Price

Weaknesses:
Weight, Reliability?
