Help finding cyclocomputer

Hello, new member around here. My birthday is just coming up and im looking for a cyclocomputer all-in-one kind of thing, I want it with heart rate monitoring and cadence, i've read a lot over the internet but can not decide for one, either because of the reviews or that is just not what im looking for. So could someone please advice me about a reliable cyclocomputer with hrm and cad. My last choice is the garmin edge 305 but i didn't want to spend that much. thanks for any help.

Polar makes one, about a buck, but the heart rate monitor kit is optional. Not sure how much extra. while I have no experience with this Item I do have HRM's from polar and have had greatr service from them! Here is a link

thanks for the quick reply, I've been looking at that one and at another porlar one, the CS200, but the only thing that backs me off is the bad reviews that I've read about that cyclocomputer. I haven't read good things about the CatEye one. So I don't know what to do, risk it, spend a little more and get the garmin edge 305.....anyone knows about something reliable on these kinds of "combos" cyclocomputer?

I like the idea of an all in one, but decided against it.Like you, I saw the complaints.
Maybe in a couple years someone will have the bugs worked out.

Besides, getting them seperately gives you way more to pick from.

+1 Go there. Good deal and free shiping. You probably will not need a huge integrated HRM type. The Cateye will be fine.
