Don't have one to sell, but a suggestion to buy online

Hi Ana, I actually just got the CatEye V3 (CC-TR300TW) which includes cadence, heart rate monitor, and all the other options you need (odometer, trip-odometer, speed, avg. speed, etc.)

It retails for 169.99 but I found it on amazon.com for 123.99 http://www.amazon.com/Cateye-CC-TR30...6846801&sr=1-6

My husband and I really love it so far, he actually used to have one of the top of the line polar computers a couple of years ago and he loves this one even more!

Any, hopefully a helpful suggestion!

Thank you for your suggestion!

Wow, that sounds awesome but I am looking for something lower-budget for now. I'm mostly curious about the cadence thing now that I seem to be improving my time (and climbs!) :)

Perhaps I will find an inexpensive one at my LBS :)

Thanks :D

cheaper cadence computer

CatEye also makes a cheaper computer that has cadence, no heart rate, but sounds like it would do just fine for you. It's called the CatEye Strada (CC-RD200) and I believe it retails for around $40. Good computer and a great price!

I have an Echowell F2 that I'm no longer using. What's your budget?

I have an Axiom A08C (previously sold by Performance) which you could have for shipping cost only. It is a wired computer, worked fine, but I got a Garmin a few years back and haven't been using it. The battery seems to still be working, the time is still showing! PM me if you would like it!

Whoa, that one looks way too busy for me :) Let me try out Linda's and see how this cadence thing goes first ;)

Thank you very much for the offer--I may be contacting you about it later this season :)

Both my bf and I have this computer. We like it a lot. It's very reliable and the screen layout is actually very easy to read and get the pertinent information from while you're riding. I also like the fact that there is only one sensor that mounts on the chainstay. This looks cleaner (some wireless computers have a chainstay sensor and a fork sensor), and since the speed magnet mounts on the rear wheel, it allows you to use the computer while on the trainer too.

The only downside is the batteries are kind of hard to find and expensive and I go through about 1.5 sets per season.

I was able to find the batteries at the local drug store but they were a bit pricey. There are good deals on line.

I loved this computer as it told me everything I needed to see on one screen. I only stopped using it because I got a Garmin.

Garmin must be sweet

Well if it is available later on and I decide I would like something wireless, I will keep you in mind :D
