What luck, first the new bike and now the trainer. After learning the good news from the Orthopedist in that I should be able to start pedaling two days after the surgery (yet to come) I bought my first trainer. I only spent around $100 and to quote popular cliche, "you get what you pay for." Damn, it is loud! I think I might have to try headphones next or ever pedal with the iPod but the beauty of pedaling in the mancave/garage is that I have satellite radio and can listen to Howard Stern, Liquid Metal, a football game, or a bevvy of other channels.

The unit I got is from Gavin. Never heard of them before but apparently they make bike parts, too. I liked this one because it was a package deal and came with a wheel holder and a tensioner. There was a spare skewer but I used one of me. It took just a few minutes to set up and off I was pedaling like a gerbil in the Habitrail exercise wheel.

There are 4 hand positions on the Mustache bars. They are really comfortable and I plan on getting more for the next build, which will probably be a make over on the Ross once I get a stem that fits. I worked out today with the car out of the garage but I think I can do with it in. Which will be good when it's really cold and snowy out this winter.

You need to try rollers. They are lot more fun and mimic the road to some degree. I got mine used (CL) for $75.00.
