This poster is in the entryway of the Stages office in Boulder, CO. As you can see, the device bonds to the inner side of the left crankarm.

The other half of Stages is called Foundation Fitness. They sell power-measuring indoor cycles to large gyms. Ever wonder what wattage you put out in spin class?

This is the power meter that goes on their indoor fitness cycles. As you can see, it is much larger than the Stages Power meter (but the design concept is similar).

Someone in the Stages office is doing their homework.

The factory and warehouse feature quite a lot of inventory.

Short crank riders rejoice – Stages has full inventory, down to 165mm.

They also accommodate long-legged gear mashers.

Stages does quite a bit of in-house testing. Can you put out 400 watts for two weeks straight?

All of the test data gets recorded.

They even do fatigue testing for their own sub-components. This handlebar is from an indoor cycle, and went through a series of torture tests.

The factory also has its own large machine shop – including some vintage Schwinn tools.

More testing and inventory in the machine shop.

These systems are packed and ready to go.

Notice something missing here?

Two Giant frames were sacrificed to become the first Stages display at Interbike 2012.

This is a fun conference room table. The glass table top even has carbon wheels underneath it.

Yes – you can even use a power meter on your downhill mountain bike.

Dirk Friel and several others from TrainingPeaks were present at the Stages event in Boulder. They offered post-ride analysis after our uphill TT effort.

There are many models and lengths to choose from.

The Stages Cycling factory is located in the heart of Boulder, CO. They also have a satellite office in Portland, OR.
