My finished (Never really finished) Mancave / Laboratory

SHADOWMATE

My Cycling Laboratory / Hurt Box / Pain Cave. The wife says i cant call it any of those things. So its called ... The Shed.
Boardman Sport winter bike on the trainer. Spesh rockhopper with a Weeride kid seat for taking my daughter out.
Spesh Roubaix for best.
I have a Tacx iGenius trainer which when working is FANTASTIC. Full cinema setup inc projector.
I love it so much in here! I could literally live in here.

Awesome. Although I'd pull the left speaker out from the corner a bit as it's bass response will differ quite a bit from the right one, due to the wall reinforcement.

Hurt box/paincave is something for another site I think. Also if you put lights on your bike you get to ride in the dark and the rain if you are lucky and if you wait a couple of months cold, wet, windy and dark what could be better than that?

Bit off topic, but where did you get the frames for the jerseys from? I could do with a dozen . . . nice shed.

Yeah thats what i wanted to do but due to the screen being quite close to the left wall i dont have a lot of room unfortunately.

I got these locally from a proper framers. They are a good wooden frame with glass as these are the best?, they were expensive though but cant remember the price as it included framing etc.

Spent way too much on them all. Wife was outraged after i halved it.

I do prefer being on the road and colder weather suits me as i run hot anyway. I didnt set up my trainer til around November last year which seemed about the right time, but the wife encourages me to use the cave as i spent so much on it and have so many different RLVs and courses to do. And she knows she can just come and get me.
