I know absolutely nothing about indoor trainers and am looking for
recommendations under $200 (the father under the better). I have had a
Cycleops Mag Trainer recommended. Opinions please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

Not quite a year ago I picked up a blackburn mag trainer online for something
like $130 shipped. It's been great. If any are still out there, it'd be a good
buy.

Mag trainers give best bang for buck and are reliable. Blackburn is a
good company that stands behind its products.

On the recommendation of a local expert I ordered an Ascent Adjustable
Magnetic trainer from Performance Bicycle on sale for $79.99.

Okay now, everyone tell me what a great deal I'm getting.
