Cateye Strada Wireless. It's got no buttons....it is the button! Shop around though.

+1 for the Strada, but if you don't want to spend that much, or your eyesight 'aint great, (the Strada has a very small screen), then the B'twin 'Count' range of computers at Decathlon are very good

I've linked to the Count 8 version, but even cheaper ones are available too. FWIW these are the easiest computers I have ever set up.

I used the Cateye Micro Wireless before I moved onto my Garmin Edge 705.

It's a great wee computer, no frills but does what it says on the tin. Really depends on your budget as it comes in at around £44.99

Another vote for the micro wireless here. I bought one for my road bike because it's diminuitive size fitted with the sleek lightweight vibe of the bike and I liked it so much I recently bought one to replace the failing wired computer on my hybrid. Only fault (if it can be called a fault) is the smaller screen when compared to my old Cateye Velo8.

Can be had for cosiderably less than £45 like the one I bought.

I'm not too keen on the colour scheme, but you can get a Strada Wireless for under £25 here...

That's me, I bought the btwin14 as I wanted cadence & more importantly I wanted the backlight function, but it doesn't work, it flashes on then straight back off again.
But in daylight it's very god if a little awkward ti use.

Seeing as how Mr Wiggins was honoured tonight, a "bit retro" could be well cool.

As the song goes... You took the words right out of my mouth...

I got a Cateye and as you say its very small and I cant read it properly so its in the adds.. then I got a B Twin count 8 and fitted it yesterday..

PS.. to my above thread..
There's nothing wrong with the Cateye Strada apart from I cant see it..
