Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

ERGO BRAIN: Do you like it? Pro's and con's...

I just got a lightly used Campagnolo Chorus Brifter set with the Ergo Brain computer attached.
It looks kinda heavy-duty weight wise and function wise. Does anyone use this computer? Do you like it? Is it as frustrating looks? It is very heavy. I am kind of old school and my former roadbike has an ancient avocet on it from back in the day, I was happy with that but then this thing shows up at the door and I wonder if i can love it...not sure.
Thanks for any opinions or advice on this system!
also: It didn't come with the related magents where can I get those? Every thing else is there though..

The nice thing about the Ergo Brain is that the Campy pedals have a recess to put a magnet in to monitor cadence. Campy makes their brifters, computer and pedals into a very integrated unit. A very high quality computer you will be happy when you get it all straightened out. Good luck.
