I'm referring to their high-end spin bikes. It's possible to modify these to accept any sprint or aero bars and be fixed gear using parts that they already fabricate in-house. No major retooling needed.




I've done it 3 times including one sitting in my home right now. I bought a gently used CycleOps spin bike for $400 off of craigslist. Had some bits modified. Now it rivals any $3,000 WattBike and will handle +2,000W standing starts and any other workout you can give it...and I can put Scattos or my aerobars of choice on it. It has a 31.8mm stem

The mod that I made can be done with any CycleOps spin bike, from the very old to the brand new.
