I have an old Trek 800 that I just started riding again after a long, long time off my bike. I live near Chicago and the weather will soon be too cold, icy and snowy to ride outside so I'm thinking about the Cycle Ops Fluid Trainer for the winter.

Will my Trek 800 work with the Cycle Ops Fluid? I found it at Brands for $244.99/free shipping. I don't have a LBS that I like enough to ask all my newbie questions and I know you girls with have the answer for me

Can anyone recommend a good bike shop that won't look strange a very newbie rider with lots of questions in the NW suburbs of Chicago?
