    Hi,

    I am looking to get a speedometer for my father for Christmas, he's after one that will measure speed and vitals like heart rate etc. I am not looking for the absolute best money can buy, but I don't want to buy garbage either. Any suggestions on this, brands, where to buy, etc, would be most appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Polar, Cateye, Garmin all make good bike computers. The latter is more expensive, but easy to upload data to phone/laptop.

    Just looked it up there, and it seems like a strong choice. As this is going to be a Christmas present, the condition of it is going to play a huge part in it, if it's in very good nick I would be interested, and original packaging would be nice too. Anyway feel to free reply here or pm if you think it'd be suitable to what I'm after. Thanks a lot

    Thank you for that, as much as I contemplated it, I probably wouldn't have gone through with it, and again I appreciate your honesty here! Cheers

    No prob mate, and you're absolutely right I think. I think I am going to get what I am after on chain reaction, so, grateful for the heads up there. Thanks again.
