It's raining this week and you probably want to buy my trainer.
This has seen a moderate amount of use and functions perfectly. Cosmetically the resistance wheel(contact point with rear tire) does have tire wear indication but does not affect function in any way.
Here's a link to what it looks like http://www.rei.com/product/667910/cycleops-fluid-2-bike-trainer
Only difference between mine and the one in the link is the adjustment wheel is a knob instead of a yellow lever. Which I think is much better.
Retails for about $300. Make me a reasonable offer.
