Bike computer with cadence and altimeter?

[Catrin]

I have a Polar 720 that I'm selling with cadence and an altimeter...It's in the For Sale section.

I will meander over there and look at it

Personally I would save up for a decent GPS unit if you want to explore with it. Cadence can be measured just fine in your head. Have someone count for 15 secs. Or have a metronome going in your head so you know what a 60 sec/min beat is. Cadence can be done without a high tech device. True mapping GPS functionality cannot.

And there are some decent prices on various Garmin devices right now. Just don't get the fitness/recording units (like the Forerunner or the Edge 305) mixed up with a true mapping GPS.

I keep eyeing them but I just can't take the leap . . . yet.

I hear you, I would have to do some saving before I could afford to make this leap. I do want it for exploring, but I need to master the bar-end shifters and build some miles before I can start exploring.
