My only other needs are: inexpensive and availability of mounts for other bikes (although, if the cyclocomputer is cheap enough, I may not worry about other mounts).

I don't care if it is wired or wireless although, wireless versions of wired models tend to be more expensive.

Suggestions welcome, please!!!
Sigma BC16.12 or BC14.12. I have a 1609 which is very similar to the 16.12. It's waterproof...tested by sending it through the washing machine more than once. It has second wheel mount which is a nice feature if you have more then one bike. It also has cadence which I never use. The 14.12 looks interesting because of the altimeter feature (no cadence). Both of the computers have second wheel capability. I highly recommend the 16.12 and may get one of the 14.12's soon.
