Boy, if it could mount on the fork, didn't have to deal with a wireless 
sensor, omitted the bell it might be just about right.  IF, I were to ever 
go the bike computer on the bike route again, I'd long for 
the equivalent of the ol' Sachs Huret belt drive unit that I had when I was 
a kid.

I have to admit, I'd consider one of these.  Looks much better than the 
current crop, and I kind of miss my computer (but don't want to mount one 
of the Riv).  This looks like it's purely conceptual though.

Thumbs up - I think that looks great and I would be in  provided it is 
not 1 million dollars that is.

Does anyone know if these things are actually for sale?  If so, where?

Can you tell us what the failure mode of your ex-computers were? I
have a bunch of wired and wired computers and other than battery
changes, they had outlasted the inevitable match of technology (to
GPS, etc). I still have at least 2 sets of Cateye wireless Stradas and
2 sets of wired Mity IIs (from the 90's).

 gotten my money's worth, I wouldnt spend more than that on some fancy
 cadence setup which I know are out there.  It is just one of those things
 that wears out I find, like tires and handlebar wrap. I think that too
 often we think things should last forever when they take alot of abuse.
 Not that something should be total crap but there should be a reasonable
 level of wear that I have come to accept out of some things on a bike.

I hope the head unit is rechargeable and has a big battery. Analog
displays are cool and all, but they're energy hogs, especially for
dials and counters. And I'm not any the electronic bell can simulate
my Japanese brass bell well enough.

My biggest beef with bike computers over the years has been their 
durability.  I hate to think how many I have owned and discarded in less 
than two years.  This one looks nice, but does it really have the 
ruggedness that is needed?
