3LC ‘Train with the Manx’ cycling training DVDs review (published by BikeRadar.com)
One of the first things you?ll notice about 3LC?s training DVDs is that there?s only a single hour-long session on each disc. You might think boredom would set in pretty quickly, but you?d be wrong. The beauty of these workouts is that your intensity is gauged by cadence, so depending on the gear you?re pushing you can go as hard or as easy as you want.
This five-part series covers all the bases of road competition ? men?s and women?s racing, sprinting, time trialling and climbing all get their own DVD.

And you certainly don?t have to worry about being shortchanged ? you?ll get an excellent frame, good componentry and bullet-proof wheels.
At this price the frame will most likely be aluminium ? carbon fibre or steel are available but pretty rare ? but seeing as until surprisingly recently this was the material the bikes used by professional racers was made of, it?s more than up to the job. .
