Hey, I'm looking for something that includes:


Speed
Cadence
Wireless
Altitude Profile (Sort of a wish list item)


I looked at the Edge 305, but I really don't need navigation or anything, I just like that it has the graph of the hills you've gone up and down.

Anyone have any suggestions? If the altitude thing isn't realistic I'm willing to knock it off the list -- what then would y'all recommend?

Cateye Strada Wireless is a solid computer and does not have altimeter.

If you are looking for hill gradient, get this.

The elevation profile feature is expensive. There are lots of very good bike computers for under $50 with speed and cadence. Current elevation (not a profile) will at least double that price. If you really want an accurate profile (recording points over a period of time that you can download to your PC), then you're probably going to double the price again.
