Italian made rollers for sale $20
Great set of rollers for sale ( or trade). Roto brand, Italian made. Twenty dollars or will trade for pair of new or very good condition 26 x 2.xx MTB tires with big thick noisy tread. Offered in Loop. Avoid messing up your fine machine with rain, salt, snow, sand and more salt. Get some miles in this winter without spending a half hour bundling up to cycle outside.
These are authentic rollers. When the spacing is adjusted for your bikes wheel base, you simply place your bike on the rollers and spin. There are no clamps to adjust or fiddle with; easy-on and easy-off . The rear wheel turns the belted roller which spins the front wheel up to speed to stabilize. There are no platforms, balance tripods, safety straps, siren blowers or Margarita holders offered. If you have proper chainring and legs, rollers are a good way to see if your cyclometer reads in triple digits.
Sometimes cyclists gather and talk. Those who knew riding on real chamois before some petrochemical fluff, will often offer roller narratives. Usually the easy-off feature of rollers is at the root of the tale, but it is often embellished by bruises in strange locations, big TVs with tire marks or floor to ceiling hi-rise windows. Some suggest novice roller riders start in narrow doorways, others suggest they stay in bed. Anytime you mount your bike, remember gravity and inertia do not care about your election 2012 views.
This is an exclusive sale offered in next few days only on chainlink. It may be offered on Craigs List and others early next week. Pick-up in loop area or I can deliver to any L stop for an extra five dollars. Email me at gruschow at usa dot net.

If Cezar suddenly stops posting to The Chainlink we'll know who to blame for that ignoble fate ;)

I'm exceptionally tempted to drop off the map for six months.

It's good for the soul. Sometimes it is best to step away from some stuff in life.
Just don't do it because you are in a coma from coming off the rollers and crashing through the window ;)
I'm still putting off learning to use the unicycle I bought this summer. That's my winter/new-year's resolution. Pain hurts!

Within a few weeks Cezar should be doing centuries on those rollers.

Depending on how his bike is geared he'll be doing them in just a couple of hours too!

That's half of it. The other half is the thickness of the ass callouses. Lots of momentum is lost when you stand up to coast and get blood flowing back into the cheeks.

Cezar,
What kind of bike will you use with the rollers? If it is steel make sure you keep it clean, all that sweat will eat it up.
