Good day, I have a RANS F5 XP. I use a Cateye Astrale 8 mounted on the handlebar. The speed sensor is on the front fork and the cadence sensor runs up the front boom and is mounted on the same tube as the front deraileur. You can select speed or cadence as the primary display which is pretty large and visible. The other stats like distance, max speed, and odo are displayed much smaller.

I highly recomend the cadence feature for your first bent. Keep it over 80 to keep from mashing and the resulting sore knees. I don't think you'll have any trouble riding, it's the starting, stoping, and slow tight turns that take a bit of practice. Once you're under way all is well.

Good luck.
