Best place to buy a Garmin edge 305?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best place to buy a Garmin edge 305?

I have pretty much decided to buy one, but whee is the best place to buy one these says?

I want the speed/cadence sensor and the heart rate monitor combo unit. And I need to get everything that is needed to use it on 2 different bikes. So 2 cadence units I guess.



p.s. Are all the Edge owner out there still happy with it?

didn't someone just post this thread? Maybe searching for that thread may help find an answer... I think there were a couple of links in there that lead to cheap prices..

Hi Bolo-

The well-trusted company (whose owner posts on this board) and has a reputation for superior customer service is GeoMan of Sante Fe, NM. Based on the reading I've done about that computer, I'm going to give it a whirl soon.

273 @ Amazon.com with free shipping. Probably the best price from a reputable company with shipping.

Geoman seems like a good way to go. Just sent them an email with some questions, so I may order from them.
