I just bought my first and stuck with a wired Cateye Strada Cadence. The wireless idea sounded cool, but the reviews made them sound like a potential headache. I went the less-expensive and more reliable route. The wire barely shows anyway. $30 from Nashbar (yes, with Cadence) if you're patient with the special coupons that come up all the time.

 

Just on the slightly more expensive side, I just picked up a Polar 200 with the T31 heart monitor strap at Performace for $110, that included an additional 10% discount. No tax cause I got it in Delaware. It is wireless and works fine. Don't have cadence but can add later if I want. Really don't need it though for what I do. Love the heart monitor and it does all the other stuff (speed, calories, time etc)

 

I have a Sigma wireless computer that was in your price range if I rememer correctly. As suggested by kykr13, however, wireless can be a PITA. I'm always having to adjust it. I'd go wired if I had to do it over again.

 

I was able to get a Cateye Wireless Strada computer from Performance Bicycles not too long ago for under $50. Great computer so far. No cadence though.

 

I'm curious. I'm also playing the devil's advocate, but I gotta ask...why do you want a wireless? I ride with people who have a wide variety of computers, some wired, some not. I just wonder why you chose/are chooseng one over the other.

 

I think wireless might look "cleaner", but this is the kind of stuff I just didn't want to deal with so I bought an inexpensive wired computer. I have a Trek that takes Speedtrap sensors, but it sounds like I should probably wait for version 2.0 - so I did...

 

I just got my first bike in 25-30 years 2 weeks ago, A Fuji Newest 4.0. I bought a Cateye Vectra and really like it. It does just the basics. Works just fine.
