1376.0. "Panasonic AL-7000 " by ASIC::RAJ () Wed Nov 22 1989 22:57

    Does anyone out there have any experience with Panasonic bicycles?
    I would especially like opinions from people who have bought the 
    AL-7000 racing model. 
    
    If anyone replies could they copy me at rajesh@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
    I am at school right now getting my Masters via GEEP and it is 
    difficult to get into TSN from here. Actually its more of a pain.
    
    Also, any opinions on bicycle trainers..the kind you stick in your
    room to train off-season. Philadelphia is very very cold this time of
    year.
    
    
    thanks

     Most of the peple that may respond to the trainer question will
    tell you to get rollers. IMHO, it would really depend on what
    you to do while on the trainer, i.e. your objective.
    
     I will tell you from personal experience to stay away from the
    MINOURA stuff. 
    
     There are several notes that deal with trainers. Do fans, stay
    away from magnets.

    Thanks Chip,
    
    I bought a fan trainer from Bike Nashbar and I've used it quite
    extensively over winter. I like it a lot and I'm ready for
    Spring..........I think...
