By the way, no trainer will be like riding on the road or track. At least your on a real bike in your "riding position".

As a dealer I sell a ton of trainers and fitness equipment. A customer came in looking for a 1up trainer that he saw on-line. I said I would get one for him and called the company. To my surprise they sell retail only! I told them they should sell to dealers. They said there manufacturing cost is to high to allow for dealers. I wanted to see this trainer for myself so I ordered one (full retail price). It came fully assembled, a first in trainers. I had a bike on it in a few seconds and gave it quick test. Best trainer ride in the shop hands down. I use it as a bike demonstrator because I can level the bike; it loads fast and is quiet. I sold the first one for $419 and ordered 2 more. The 1up trainer looks like a $500 trainer. I know trainers and if you want the best trainer out there get this one.
