Taking the blame is officially part of my job at the bike shop.

We had something similar. The guy insisted the thing wouldn't fit up the stairs, but they had this big forklift thing that they could bring the next day and they could lift it up over the deck railing and bring it in through the sliding glass door.
Sometimes internal barriers such as banisters can be temporarily removed. It gets the job done, of course, but anything non-trivial that they do adds to the cost.

Nothing. You simply assign a task to a voltage (I presume). The double signal is interpreted as an instruction to shift the front. That's all.

Like I said, that is the current favorite. My younger daughter has had two of them. We all agree that they are the most functionally designed fridges ever.

Well, now I have gone and done it. I just order the Magnus trainer bundle from Zwift. No good will come of this indiscretion I fear. Woo-hoo! Watopia, here I come.
I should mention that Mrs. rpen was much more worried about be cluttering up the study than the price of the trainer. Figures.
Now what bike to keep on it. I don't want to be constantly futzing (one of those words that I will pretend I don't know what it really means) with it. The steel bike is the one I ride least on the road, but is subject to sweat corrosion. I enjoy the carbon and Ti bikes too much to pull them out of circulation. I think I will take my chances and go with the steel. Photos when available.

Report as requested
Yes, I rode the trainer. I was time-crunched and had to be somewhere by 7 so I only did 32 minutes. 7 warm up and cool down and three 4 minute intervals with 3 minute recovery between. Kind of sucked but at least I did something. Will probably have to do the trainer tomorrow as well.
Thanks for the follow up, I was thinking all day that I can't let Jonesy down.
Edit: Those are really piss poor efforts. I will take the blame for that. #Sad!

Yes. I was looking for a POV video taken along the trails to see if it would trigger any early memories.
Unfortunately most of the civilian submissions are lame aerial stuff.
I don't remember that stage/concert place at all. A couple of trail spots and look possibly familiar. And the approach to the lake.
