Thank you for asking! I have been contemplating this same question myself!

I'm a fan of rollers myself. Not much resistance, but helluva way to work on your form.

FWIW, I'm no fan of the Fluid. I tried both and preferred the Fluid, but after a bit of use one of the plastic bits on the edge started melting, separated and dumped my sister and her bike on the floor.
Needless to say I returned it. Fortunately everything was OK, but the repairs to the bike still weren't insignificant and it could have been a *very* expensive mistake.

Second the rollers.

blackburn?
Does anyone have any experience with the blackburn trakstand? It is a fluid trainer but seems to be more affordable than the fluid2. (we registered for a fluid2 for the wedding at REI, but alas, did not get it)

I bought the Blackburn Trakstand Ultra last week. I've very pleased with it...my primary need was "quiet" and it is. It cost me about $300 at the LBS...
