    I purchased a Blackburn Delphi 4 from www.Ribblecycles.co.uk whilst it worked I was very happy with it. Took the bike out of shed for a ride and the computer was totally dead not very old (272 miles) but it's got a lifetime warranty, waiting for a replacement to arrive in the post. My other bike has a Catseye Astral on it that has work for approx 7-8 years and 14000 miles other than replacing the base because I caught the cable and the battery going flat no problems.
    Justice for the 96
  • After 14 years the CATEYE on my MTB has stop working, but I think it's just that the sensor on the chainstay is damaged. I'm now looking at getting a CATEYE Strada Wireless for both the MTB and my new road bike.

    Hope Santa's reading this :lol:

    i have two blackburn delphis, one for each bike (ribble made it cheaper to buy new units rather than new sensors!) and it is a fantastic bit of kit. The screen is very big and bright.

    i couldnt recommend it enough

    I've got the Cateye model you refer to all on all three bikes.

    I found it more than adequate when I got back into cycling a couple of years back (on MTBs). When I bought the Allez I bought another. Its been fine but it does lack cadence and I think I'll be fitting my new bike with something else.
