I'm a newbie to cycling; I know that a trainer will be a wise investment to make. I'm looking to spend $200 or less. I've found some nice CycleOps trainers in my price range (eBay), but am clueless as to what model will meet my needs. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

Guess I should've searched the forums first... I'm still figuring out this site. Thanks!

I have nothing but good things to say about my Kinetic Road Machine trainer. Most people who own a CycleOps seem to like it as well. When I made the decision between them two years ago, the leaking issue scared me off the CycleOps. Apparently, that's now resolved, but if I were making the decision today, I'd still go with the one with more long-standing track record - Kinetic.
