In the market for a cycling computer

Hi all, I am shoping for a bike computer, something with mileage, averages, times, cadence and a heart monitor, that I can download the info in to my PC. Best value for money. Any advice? Thanks.

I'm in the market for a new computer as well. What are the advantages of the Garmin 500 (or 510) over the new Cateye Stealth 50?

Do they have it at that price now?

What, no altimeter on the Cateye? That's a FAIL. Garmin all the way, I'm shopping for a used one on fleabay. The 510 has nice socila networking features and the missus can track my ride in real time...but you have to have the phone on to stream through, and that probably kills battery life. and if I have a phone I can probably check back in at waypoints or in case of emergency. 510 is also larger....500 all the way.

correction on the coupon code for wiggle 15-EXTRA I think they are still for sale at that price. rodebikekit also has them for 185.00 Just remember these are UK websites so if you need the warranty you may have to send it to the UK warranty work

I have the 305, 500 and 510. The 510 is spendy but I love it and would buy it again.

It is cool to finish your ride, pop open a beer and look at all your data that has transferred over to your phone.

Love the bigger screen too.

I bought a VDO Z2PC computer last year. It had been discontinued but you may be able to find it at VDO Z2PC Cycle Computer with ANT+ Heart Rate and USB Download - Normal Shipping Ground___. For the closeout price of $49.99, it is a bargain. It doesn't come with a cadence kit though. You can find one here http://www.cambriabike.com/Vdo-Z-Series-Wireless-Cadence-Kit.asp for $44.95. It may meet your needs.
