Thanks for the link.. I'm looking at options to install a bike computer. Prices vary from ridiculously cheap to the higher priced gps units. The main concern seems to be that some of the bicycle units top out around 50 mph, and, in the wired models, placement of the pickup magnet on the wheel can be difficult. The Sigma bc506 at around $20.00 is getting good reviews, but while I'm looking, I think I would like something with blue backlighting.. Probably end up building a whole new instrument console. In the first year of owning it, the original console, while functioning, had it's problems. The chrome plastic beauty rings around the gauges warped in the desert sun, and came unstuck. Then the needles themselves softened and curled up a little. Still worked, but looked pretty tacky..
