    I use the Cat Eye CD300DW on one of my bikes. Apart from the fiddly reset method I like the fact that you get time, distance, speed and cadence all on the one screen.

    I use the Shimano Flightdeck on another of my bikes, this too has cadence but you have to flick about to read time distance and cadence.

    The much cheaper Astrale-8 also has cadence and is a much lauded computer.

    I've just taken delivery of a shiny new GPS enabled Garmin Edge 305. Wasn't cheap at ??170 inc. vat & del. but you can use it to plot courses and then follow them meaning no need for a map.

    The Polar CS200CAD is working nice for me

    I have a Garmin Edgee and a Polar CS200CAD and they are both great. But they are not cheap and do do alot of extras that you have not asked for.

    The Blackburn Delphi Range (from £20 odd quid at Ribble) - it is a great cycle computer for the money. And, it also looks very smart indeed.

    I would go for the Blackburn...
