Roy, >From my experience, rollers and an indoor trainer are *completely* different. With a standard trainer (where you put the rear axle in a vise-like device), you sit there and just suffer. With rollers, you have to keep balanced and make sure you don't run off the edge, so there's a lot more to do than just think about pedaling. I don't quite enjoy rollers (I haven't tried watching a movie while on them, for instance), but I find them much more enjoyable than a trainer. I also have yet to try the fixie on the rollers...
