    @ Lemag, as i was unsucessful in getting a garmin 500, what have you got bike computer wise that you were hoping to sell? I could be interested. cheers
    This which has seen about 300kms so there should be plenty of battery life left. The one which is new and still in its box is O_Synce and it's the Marco series. There are a few different ones within that series but I can't be more specific just yet as I'm don't have it to hand right now.

    I'm not surprised. I brought the Garmin to the attention of posters here. I then mention that I'll be looking to sell my other computers and a couple jump in to compete with me with their now unneeded computers :rolleyes:

    Cheers ednwireland. Went for it last night. I was too late to get the black or black/red so had to settle for the less desirable black/blue. Still, I won't see it when it's on my head.

    In my defence, the pad looks crap in those shorts. I'd rather sell them on than hang onto something I'm not gonna use!

    I took them out for the first time last Thursday. After about 40km my ass started hurting.

    I did 35k in them and found the actual padding fine, however the stitching keep clinging into the valuables and was finding it impossible to adjust myself :o

    However they're my first pair of bibs as I was just using a cheap pair of b-twin shorts before, so not too much of a fair comparison!

    Did 50k today and I found them to be excellent. Maybe it all depends on how well they fit you?

    The padding is a bit thin, but i didnt mind it did 60km in it, found needed bit more breaking in but no issues with sore arse, i found them really warm thou, felt warmed up when left house compared to other shorts i use.

    Just had a look on the Garmin megathread and it looks like if anyone has a Garmin hrm already they can use the strap with the Edge as well.

    No problem Ballyhoura,

    I found them on ebay - 66 usd for both. NIB cadence sensor, New, no box heart monitor. No shipping as I have family over there and one is coming over in a couple of weeks. SHipping was about 12.00 usd to ireland, but you may get hit on tax.

    There was a nice parcel here for me today when I got home. Happy days :)

    Now this isn't an Edge 500 but there's Garmin 305s to be had on Amazon.co.uk for 110 euro. They come with a heart rate monitor too.
