My vote is for the Garmin Edge. There isn't really anything else like it.
The only other thing I can think of is the Specialized Toupe Saddle.
Whadddya you guyz think?

IMHO, last great (but not the greatest) bicycling product/innovation was STI. Nothing really new since then.

Probably still EPO, for 10 straight years.
I've also been enjoying my new lactate threshold -- great product -- I highly recommend it.

Ive had no issues with my Edge other than the last Training Center bungle by Garmin. Keep hating on it and I'll just keep enjoying mine.

Assos bibs don't fit me, so they're out. Re the Garcia wheels, could I have a bike with them or do I just have to push them around with a stick?

Powertap wireless SL. I don't have one... but still. I think SRAM Force is over a year old, correct?

I'm not ready for a Garmin Edge yet. How come I get this feeling if I had one for a week I'd be hooked? Looks pretty cool.
