When I sold my go fast, it only took me 10 years to figure out that it was probably too small for me, at first I rode my steel bike with no computer but while I was haunting the used parts bins at Recycled Cycles in Seattle's university district I stumbled across a wireless cateye with a dead battery that I was able to pick up for $5, and with $4 more in battery I had a working wireless cycle-computer couldn't resist setting it up but it is a positive step down from the Polar 720i that gave me reams of data and was computer down loadable.
My plan is to build a go fast again, move the cateye over to it, and go "data-less" on the commuter/townie/camper bike, as someone mentioned above if I get desperate for mileage I can always go to map my ride and figure it out. Good luck Patrick and if you do decide to replace your avocet I highly recommend the cateye wireless very easy to set up and use and not "over functioned" Ryan West Seattle On Feb 15, 9:17 am, Shaun Meehan <meehan.sh...@gmail.com> wrote: > I didn't have a computer on my Atlantis up until last year when I started > doing gravel races that require riders to follow the course using queue > sheets that are based on specific distances.
