My only tri bike; my race bike. I do, however, keep a towel over it to absorb my sweat.

I use my my race bike - tri bike.

Why wouldn't you train on the bike you race on?

My road and my tri depending on what I've got going on and the time of year.

Tri bike.

Use an older tribike on my trainer and race with my new race bike. Almost same setup, just don't want to have to remove bike/put it back etc

I'm concerned the trainer would stress my race bike/tires and also the hassle of removing/re-installing the bike in the trainer.

Primarily I use my only tri bike on rollers with a set of trainer type wheels on a spare set of rims.

Same here…built a tri bike for the trainer. Matched up specs to my race bike. I do 90% of my riding on the computrainer and my bike on the trainer gets pretty nasty. I got an old frame for next to nothing (classifieds) and built it up with old parts I had laying around (i did purchase a saddle…the same as my race/outdoor bike). Really pleased with it.

Understand but I think it is important to train as much as possible on the bike you will race on. Tires can be a pain if you don't have dedicated race wheels.

I had my road bike on the trainer for most of the winter, then switched to my tri bike last month to get used to the different geometry, saddle, etc before taking it out on the road (it's my first season with it). Have a trainer tire for the road bike, and a separate trainer wheel for the tri bike.

Yep, I have just one set of wheels. (race wheels)

My old roadie with clip on aeros, reversed seat post and an impressive arrangement of spider webs on the front wheel.

Close enough to my tri bike geometry for my inexact purposes.

my older tri bike, its set up the same position as my race bike. Different seat though which can be a pain sometimes

Currently have 3 in the stable (used to be 4 but I sold it to pay for other stuff).

1. TT/Tri - Felt B12
2. Road - Trek Pilot 5.9 (last Carbon Fiber version)
3. MTB Hardtail - Raleigh Talus 8.0

I ride the Road bike the most and have the Felt on the trainer currently (that will come off for races and a local TT series). The MTB I fit in when I can but it is not as much as I'd like as last year rained enough to close the dirt trails on days I could go.

I have one bike so by default it's also my trainer bike. I do however swap in an old rear wheel with its own cassette and trainer tire.

My tri/race bike with a trainer tire/cheap wheel setup.

My only bike. I had it serviced last week after a couple of months of nothing except indoor rides on Trainer Road, and the sweat had destroyed my headset bearings, seized my front dérailleur, and given my bottom bracket a good creaking sound.
Now I tie a towel around the seat post and drape it over the aerobars to catch all the sweat that used to run over the bike and pool on the mat under the bike

Its about the entire journey, not just the moment you cross the line.

Race bike (Cervelo P3) with a trainer wheel. I don't use a towel, I just sweat all over that puppy. Also have a road bike for majority of outdoor training.

Race bike. I don't even bother swapping the rear wheel/tire. Michelin Krylion 23c does double duty just fine. I keep a towel over the bars to prevent sweat damage.

Given the condition of the roads in my area, my bike probably gets more abuse in a single outdoor ride than a winter's worth of trainer rides.

+1. Much easier to have an inside and an outiside ride each ready to go at any time without having to do any last-minute set-up, wheel swap, etc.

I have an old Fuji Marseille steel frame bike that I use 100% on my trainer. In
fact it has no brakes since I've robbed them to put on another bike.
