Sorry Mario, I just went ahead and did it. You so kindly offered to let me try out a few before I committed, but having been delayed so long in getting back to Herts, and having read so many reports and finally found one....
I bought a 2017 Beta Xtrainer today.
I won't be able to pick it up for a couple of weeks as I have to arrange transport (its in Yorkshire), so I'm going to have to temper my excitement for a little while yet, and then bring it down south and run it in. Anyway, I'm going to have to get hold of some off-road riding kit first as I hardly think a full set of leathers will cut it!
I'm really looking forward to getting dirty and becoming a highly active TRF addict. See you out there soon! Now I'd better head off to the relevant part of the forum to ask about clothing.
Ding ding....
