Greetings-- A (very) few days ago I posted a question about bike computers for an entry level mountain biker (me). Here is a brief summary of email responses so far: Avocet and Cat Eye brands were reccomended. One person who owns both brands strongly reccomends Avocet. Models mentioned were Cat Eye ATC, Avocet 40, and Cat Eye Mitty2. Speed/time/distance seems to be a standard feature for road or mountain bikes. Auto start/stop is well regarded. Cadence seems to be specialized for road racers. Heart monitor seems to be for hard core training. Altimeter has high toy value. Someone suggested ordering a catalog from a mail order place. He said the catalogs tend to have a list of brands, models, feature sets, and prices which I could use to sort out the market. I've done this. I think I will try to find a basic speed/time/distance model, maybe with altimeter, depending on my mood at the time. Many thanks to the people who responded so quickly! -- Craig Bosworth (619) 592-8609 Hewlett-Packard, San Diego Division craigb@sdd.hp.com
