I am looking to continue my training over the winter. I am planning on doing a tri in the spring and in addition to my weight training, speed walking, i am going to swim and plan to continue my biking. I am looking at a minoura v270, would appreciate any feedback.

i've never used any seriously.
but the minoura seems good.

get some cheap tires for your bike though. Those things eat up rubber at warp speed.

I am not a fan of Gyros but that is because I guess I have gotten poor quality ones that don't provide the resistance I need nor are they smooth, but Minoura is quality.

Minoura sounds solid and if it is something you definitely need for winter training then go for it.

I teach cycling for a living so I get it 3 times a week even in winter. It is enough to get my through to March when I can comfortably hit the road again (aka no negative degrees out).
