Does this cyclocomputer exist?
I'd like to get a computer that tracks the usual (speed, avg, time, etc) plus cadence, plus heart rate. I would also like to be able to download the rides so i can graph the heart rate across time, speed, cadence and distance that way i can compare my heart rate to various points in my standard rides or in looking at interval performances.
Garmin 305 the only option?
Problem with that is that i'd rather not spend that much money because i eventually plan on getting a PT...

You can just pick up the PT head unit, harness w. cadence, heart rate strap and USB downloader-all you'll need to fork out for is the hub at a later date.

Sunuto T6 can do all of what you described if you buy the cycling package. It is a wrist unit, but you can purchase a handel bar mount for it also. The speed sensor on it is pretty cool, as it is a Mavic sewer.
In anycase its going to be a little expenisve around $300 but will be less then the polar 600, and give you similar features. I picked mine up brand new off ebay for $160 from a guy that got 2 from a sponsorship, but just lost his job.

+1 on this. Especially if you're getting a PT later.
The PT's very decent, and of course you can buy all of it wireless and ANT+ too.

Sigma Rox 9.0 does everything you ask, plus altitude. The only problem is that the cadence isn't recorded for use in the graphing. You can get average cadence for the ride, and min/max, but it doesn't save point values of cadence.
It's kinda expensive, but I love it. About $170 right now on TreeFort.

Just thought i'd tag my question onto the end of this thread instead of starting a new one....
I need a computer (never owned one before) and I'm not sure what to get
I've looked at countless models and for some reason I'm having a hell of a time finding one that has a stopwatch and decent reviews. I really like to track my time and average speed for laps on my regular routes and this seems to be a rare feature of cyclo-computers..
Anyone know where to find one for less than $100? impossible? wireless?

1. Bought from Treefortbikes.com, not stolen either, but thanks for questioning my ethics.
2. Why would you buy a redundant system if you are going to buy a used PT soon anyway? Why not just buy the PT head unit now and the hub later.

The PT purchase has likely been pushed back to next Spring.

You shouldn't be so sensitive
Thanks for the info.
1.) Not cost effective
2.) My purchase plan on buying a PT has changed
3.) Who said anything about what kind of PT i was getting?
Not everyone has as much liquidity in their pockets as everyone else.
1.) I can't afford the PT now
2.) Thus what i do buy pulls money out of that potential PT fund
3.) Pushing back when i get a PT changes what i may be able to spend
4.) The 305 will do the trick, the price was right.
