Even were I to be throwing money around at making the trainer much nicer, I wouldn't buy it.
I think they have the right idea, it just isn't enough mass.
Makes sense. I was thinking that it would be cool to take a flywheel from a garage-sale exercise bike and set it up in a rack adjacent to the trainer and drive it with a belt. I know a big flywheel makes a huge difference with the $12K SRM ergometers, so it would be cool to hack similar benefits for much less.
