Only thing I see if Fluid2 has Carmichael DVD. No mention of the "Tempo" on cyclops website. But the tempo costs more list. And the instore price was significantly different.

And the difference is..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Tempo is made by us exclusively for Performance Bike. It is
easiest
to compare the two at regular price. The Tempo on the website is a
2007
model ($329.99) and the CycleOps Fluid is an older 2006 model
($299.99).
The current Fluid2 is also $329.99.

The Fluid2 does include the DVD as well as it has a larger flywheel for
more progressive resistance.

I purchased the Fluid 2 from an online retailer called agees.com about 3 months ago for $250 w/free shipping. They are great with customer service (located in Virginia and I'm in Ohio) and the trainer was at my doorstep in 3 days. I have also ordered PI shorts and other stuff. As advertised the Fluid 2 is now $220 with free shipping. If you call you will speak with someone at the bike shop (called to ask a few questions about clothing) or you can order online like I did. I highly recommend them.

Hey all, I think I figured it out; the new fluid 2 has a larger flywheel and a yellow resistance handle? I believe the tempo is the same as the old model fluid 2

I think the flywheel looks the same. Unless they enlarged it again for 2007.

Yes, the new yellow handle is 2007.

I took the DWWheels suggestion and ordered from Agee's.
