I have the Cat Eye Cycle Simulator
CS-1000 .
I use the trainer with my road bike to do interval training. I don't like using my track bike on the trainer.
I also have the Kreitler Challenger rollers which I use with my track bike. I use the rollers to work on my balance and spin technique.
I get a better workout on my trainer because I'm able to focus on specific training without worrying about balance. And because I can adjust resistance and gear selection.
But, the rollers are great for warm-ups and cool-downs.
I would recommend a trainer first.
