I've got one, but now my wife wants one so we can train together. not looking to spend more than 150.00 or so... the cheaper, the better i guess.

thanks,
Rich

Like this? I've got one, barely used (I just couldn't make the "riding a trainer indoors" thing work for me). It's a Minoura Inter-rim trainer- the drive runs on the rim instead of the tire, making it pretty quiet, and easy on your tires. Adjustable for road rims or MTB rims, adjustable tension, etc.

It is not lightweight, so shipping may be spendy. I paid slightly over $200 for it, but since it's just collecting dust I would accept $125, you pay shipping. It's really a solid peice of engineering and manufacturing. Let me know.

Too bad for me, but I completely understand.

Thanks for getting back-
