Caveworks, a small US-based indoor cycling company launches a steel, indoor-specific bike compatible with most smart trainers.
For those who loathe transferring their bike on and off the stationary trainer but love incorporating a good indoor session, even in the summer months, there's now a burgeoning market sector offering indoor-specific bike frames to be used in conjunction with a trainer as a more economical option to full bore smart bikes or stationary bikes.
Following the recently launched Zwift Ride, Caveworks today introduced the Caveworks Rivet, an indoor cycling frameset that shares many similarities with the new product from cycling's leading indoor training app.
