Looking for one, but no joy so far.

The new CatEye CC-CD300DW fills the bill except for the altitude. Double wireless on the rear wheel in one unit (whoever asked about that elsewhere should look at this one).

Oh, and I want cadence, speed, trip time, and altitude displayed together. The CC-CD300DW does that with the obvious exception of the altitude.

Cheers...Gary

I just got the Polar 725 and it's pretty neat. In addition to cadence (extra $40), speed, trip time, and Altitude (includes capturing ascent - total feet climbed), it has all of your Heart Rate functions. Everything is wireless. Now, you can't display everything all at once, but you can get 3 things displayed at once (i.e. HR, Speed, and Cadence). but the neatest thing is when I sync it with my laptop throught the Infrared port - I get an instant chart with HR, altitude, cadence, temp, etc of my ride and keeps a training diary going. very cool.

Thanks - I'll take a look. But I have a HRM already, so wasn't even thinking of them.

How about the Vetta v-100 with the cadence and altitude? I have the wireless V-100 with cadence only and find it very accurate. A friend has the altitude part without the cadence. He says it works very well. My only reservation is that Vetta is a pain to deal with if you have customer service issues. Otherwise, the product is a good one.
