2018 Wahoo Kickr or 2018 Tacx Neo?

A light bike doesn't replace good fitness.

Same for me with a dedicated bike on the trainer: Until last year I used my 25 y.o bike on the trainer but since the BB was damaged I had to buy a new bike for the trainer. I end up buying the cheapest Bianchi roadbike in this lovely Celeste colour for $750. Good enough for the trainer and I don't have to put/ switch my carbon road bike on it. Meanwhile I have "upgraded" it with some parts like handlebar and stem so that the fit is 100% good for me. And I could also use it on travel if I don't want to use my carbon bike.

I did put a extra set of carbon bars on mine so I'd never have to deal with aluminum corrosion under the bar tape. Also sprayed most of the fasteners with T-9 to give them a protective layer of paraffin.
