Hi, I'm looking for a suitable computer/HRM to fit to my bike that I use on my turbo trainer, preferably one that downloads the data to pc. Not looking for anything Gucci just something between £100 - £200.

    Garmin Edge 500 with the Cadence / HRM bundle will work very well, I think around £150 - £200.

    If you're only interested in indoor training then you can do this for (much?) less than £100. All you'd need is an ANT+ dongle and an ANT+ HR belt (or any other ANT+ device like a speed/cadence sensor) and something like either Golden Cheetah or trainerroad.com

    Thanks for the advice guys, not being much of a computer expert, I'm opting for the Garmin Edge 500 excellent value on Handtech, £225 on CRC. Also the option of using it outdoors.
