Cheap Wind trainer - is it worth it?

[DaveB]

I'm thinking of getting some kind of trainer for winter but the budget
is tight (actually at the moment there is no budget). I've seen the
following advetrised on ebay a few times now and was wondering what the
opinion is on it. I know absolutely nothing about trainers but during
winter I would like to be able to train at night and some kind of
trainer seems the best way to do it. I'll be in my workshop so noise
won't be a problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks Carl. All questions answered on the ABOC site. You'll get Sheldon
