I did.
A tick under $1100 on eBay with shipping, great shape, that's precisely HALF what the LBS had to get for this same unit. Now I have all winter to figure this thing out. God help me.
How about that red Pimp Daddy Conti 4000?
Pcad may suck at this sport, but NEVER doubt his Schwag capabilities.

Oh wait, you're f*cked. You'll never figure it out.

See Caddy, you're wrong about the difficulty level. You can hook up the fin and the wires, and you're off. You don't even have to hit "start/stop" at the beginning/end of the ride. You upload the data and you'll see ave power, max power, and highs for given periods of time. Most of this you'll also see on the head unit. And... it's not like you don't have an army of powertraining obsessed "weenies" at your beck and call.
Oh wait, you're f*cked. You'll never figure it out.

I think my recent TT make-over has him beat for his lifetime schwag-o-meter, and that doesn't even count the road bike or the MTB...

I would say you are probably right. I think I have more schwag on ebay right now than P-cads whole quiver. He is definitely a BF(r) up-and-comer though.

Hook up the fin and wires eh? Yeah, OK. So far that part took 3+ hours to troubleshoot and get working right. I hope this stupid friggin gizmo helps make me faster. I seriously wonder if I have the patience for all this crap. Maybe. Maybe not.
Who writes these electronic bike gizmo manuals anyway? The Bush Administration Foreign Policy Team? The only reason I'm giving this a whirl is because all you hard core racing lunatics insist this can make anyone (even me) faster. I can put up with a lot of crap and head scratching for that.

So... you have a computer mount off the front of your bars, and yet you have two computers on your stem?

PCad how can you possibly run one Zipp without having a matching front Zipp! Sure the tires match, but it still hurts the OCP in me, just a little

That is how it's illustrated in the incredibly lameass Saris manual. That struck me as bizarre. I didn't write it. I looked at it again, and they have the wire coming off the top, but it looks like an upside down shark fin. I say 'looks like' because the illustration is pretty poor. I don't think it matters, it's working. I will check with Saris, try to find some zip ties @ Home Depot and remount it. That's amazing that you can't even mount the friggin sensor right because their manual doesn't have adequate instructions.
I'm keeping the other computer on there for a couple of reasons, but when I'm riding with the PT I'll snap it off and just leave the mount. Initially I want to compare speedo accuracy.
