Looking to get a new unit. I want a bike mounted unit, with good HRM and cycle function.
What do you use and what do you reccomend.

Polar s7xx series should do nicely.

I recommend the Polar S725X. Although it is a rather pricey unit it seems to be rock solid and, as a wireless unit, seems to be relatively reliable in both rural and city areas where rf interference can be a problem I had a Polar CS200CAD for awhile and had nothing but problems with it. Also, be aware that some units require you to *send in* the transmitter units for battery replacements as the units are sealed. The CS200CAD is one of those units (as is the CS100).
I have the Polar 720, which has worked very nicely for me. It's pretty pricey, however.
If you don't care about altitude, you can go cheaper.
