computer year

I just bought my computer this year at the LBS so I assume it is either a 2002 or 2003 model.

I have since posting the original post used one of the suggestions and used a tie wrap to attach the original mounting bracket to the handlebars for now. This will do for a short term solution but I really must find something better long term. I have since come up with another problem though.

The magnet which attaches to the spokes worked fine on my old schwinn with the round spokes. Well the spokes on this Allez are not round. The body of the spoke is flat, so the only way to mount the magnet on the spoke is on the narrow side. This is facing away from the pickup at 90 degrees. As a result the field isn't passing the pickup the right way and therefore the pickup isn't picking up the magnet. Does anyone have any suggestions for this dilema?

It would seem that since the bike and the computer were made by the same company, I wouldn't have all of these compatability problems.
