I have 2 bikes, a new Allez Road Bike(which I ride all the time)

and I have my 3 yr old Giant Hybrid. Which one should I use on my trainer when I get it? I am going to Sell the Giant in the spring... or should I try and sell it now.. do Bikes go well in the Fall on Ebay?

Thanks

i say do it on the hybrid.... trainers really wear down your tires real quick.

I'm in the same boat... I have a new Lemond I built up, and I have my old Centurion from back in the day... I'm gonna throw the Centurion on the trainer... I figure if I crank it up, and I tweak the frame, I'm not gonna be too concerned... if I messed up my Lemond... I'd be majorly bummed... and then I'd have to buy a new frame, that I can't really afford right now....

Use your old work horse. This way you won't screw up the scewers and put it through any undue stress. I'm making a new purchase this fall/spring and I'm sure it will be tough to just look at the bike. But I know that when I get that first awsome day in the spring all will be right with the world.
