I've trained with a singlespeed setup on a fluid trainer before and while it was ok, the lack of variety in cadence ( at a set power level ) was a bit limiting, so I switched back to a geared bike. So yeah, the variable resistance trainers sound better suited to bikes with one gear.

The Elite trainers have a good rep in your price bracket and they also have a decent range of resistance settings, so you can spin, or grind to your heart's content.

Something like this Elite Novo Force perhaps?

Thanks for the advice. I did already have a look at a few in the Elite range.

I found this today..

£145 including free delivery, seems like a cracking deal?

1.6-kg steel flywheel and 10 speed resistance, plus the extras (floor mat, dvd, front wheel block).

That does look like a good deal. The various accessories ( mat, sweat catcher, riser block ) are all useful too and as discussed on a previous page, having a larger flywheel gives the trainer a more realistic road feel.
