There are two versions of this trainer. This years version looks awesome, with actual STI type shifters, and Google maps integrated. I am seriously considering getting one, I used to ride though the winter, but now I have been carpooling with my wife over the winter months. Just too many times in the snow and slush and finding that I like that part of it less as the novelty of it wears off. At 2 grand the price is steep, but the fact that it's small enough to sit where a typical chair does in our living room, and quiet enough to use at night, I am planning on getting one this fall.
