A Christmas C&V Conundrum

Santa brought me a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt for Christmas. My newest bike dates from the early 80s. Will I be banned from the C&V village if I mount it on one of my bikes?

As long as you strap it to your front bag with twine, you'll be OK.

The Wahoo is a cycling computer, not a bike

If the readout has a black and white and Gothic font option and the big brand logo is just a decal, then that modern computer might win enough fans over here.....

On that I am in total sympathy!

I'm looking for a second Element for her, actually, but she thinks it's too much of a gadget.
