LeMond Revolution Pro: The company has folded and ceased operations many years ago. With a new dedicated room i also expect to upgrade to a modern trainer, but how much space do i need for it not to be cramped ?

Now I am missing informations about XD/XDR compability in the tech summary lists. If you can pick up a unit at like sub-$400, then definitely consider it. The specific KICKR CORE ‘known previous issues’ were ESD killing it, and then a weird sound coming from it. I just don’t think on the whole they’re super polished yet.
