Help ID'ing 80s Cycle Computer
Ok, this is a total shot in the dark. Back in the 80s I had a sweet cycle computer. I can't find a photo of it anywhere and I never saw anyone else with the same one. Maybe if I try to describe it someone will remember it...
It mounted to the bars and was black and it wrapped about a 1/4 way around the bars with the display flat and the buttons part of the wrap. The readout was large and yellow. It had two big buttons that were on the curve part of the computer. The magnet pickup was a very heavy 6" circle that attached to the spokes. It was a damn heavy round magnet.
I loved this computer but it was sold with my Centurion Turbo years ago. Just thought about the simplicity of it the other day and tried to find a photo to no avail.
Total shot in the dark but I thought I would try anyway.
Cheers,
GG
