your right there, its a bargain alright compared to the cateye ones. I have it mounted on the commute bike and set it up very easily and it has a backlight also.

It says in the manual that its not watertight...?Hmmmmmmm:rolleyes:

How does it need to be connected to your bike?

Looking at the pic its wired. You mount a little sensor on the forks at the front, and one on the spooks of the wheel. 5 minute job

There's a blast from the past!

It looks like they were breeding BMX's and Nintendo NES together. Remember them well. What a pile of poo they were. We all wanted one of course. There was a road bike version as well with the computer coming out from the back of the stem steerer.

It's in the Lidl warehouse sale next weekend at €200 off, it was mentioned in an Evening Herald ad last week but strangely there's no mention of the bike sale on the Lidl website. IIRC the original price was €899.

You ca only charge it with electricity downloaded from the Apple Store, it needs to be charged twice a day, the wheels are non-standard and can only be repaired or replaced by couriering them to a repair depot in Holland, and any software update to the engine management system cost $100. Where can I buy one?

I heard there was a problem with the chain. The Apple solution is to cycle using your right foot only and keep your left foot away from the left pedal. If you do this, you should be ok! :D
