I have my beater Bridgestone bike circa '82 maybe '84 ??
Since you are on the trainer, don't you want your work out to be just that much harder. You're not leaving home so does it matter if the rear wheel wobbles or the rear brake pads scrapes the wheel as you spin. Well aside from the added noise but...
You'll be a lot stronger when you get on your good bike.
my father thought I should train with a cross bike with solid rubber tires with big lug and have the brake pads scrape the wheel at all times. Heavier the bike, the better he thought. He further suggested that I add panniers filled with rocks for hill climbs.
get a beater even a $50 bike for the trainer. single speed is fine if you can adjust the load while spinning.

Raven, thanks. That is clarifying!
