By the way, according to Competative Cyclist at least, the Comp model will do HRM, it just doesn't come with the chest strap.
Thanks. I saw that too, but then other sites seem to either not mention hrm with the comp or say it does not have that option. On the saris site it mentions that the elite is upgradeable to hrm but it does not mention it for the comp.
thanks again.
