    I do like the cs300. Mounting on the bike is as easy as putting a watch on. The downside is the speed sensor is on the front wheel, so I can't know how far I've riden on the trainer.

    But I paid $180 for it. If you look around and wait for coupon codes, you can get a good deal. But if you go for the F6, that's cool, too.

    the $229 was with the cadence monitor and the bike mount.

    I figured putting it on the bike would be simple but just one more thing I would have to do. Knowing me (AND I DO know me) I would be scrambling to find where I last put it, find the monitor, not know where the strap is because they are no longer together . . . .

    Organized is NOT my middle name!

    Keep posting on how you are using it and how it is going.

    You will need a waterproof heart rate monitor then. Try Bios Fitness, they have a few good models for serious training. I'm happy with mine although I haven't tested in with swimming. You should also look for models with a bike mount. Polar's another popular brand, like the others have mentioned.

    IT'S HERE ALREADY ! ! !

    I am anxious to read up on it and try it. Unfortunately I don't have time today

    It is pretty pink so shouldn't look too dorky

    Eclectic-which one did you decide to buy? I wear my polar watch all the time, I am used to the large size now.

    I went with the Polar f-6. in pretty pink. It does what I need it to do and still stayed w/in my budget. I am going to put a separate permanent cadence monitor on my bike.

    Mine is black. We opted for the same set-up.
