I don’t like computers, HRMs, GPS or anything cluttering up the bars on my bikes. I’ve done all that ‘training’ stuff, and I don’t need to know how far I rode anymore, or if I beat some other old guy up an insignificant hill. But what I do love is retro-style, in motorcycles, bikes and timepieces.

And this little beauty fits the bill. I don’t think I’d even bother with the functions, but the form does it for me. Café racer styling, like a chronograph for the bars, it looks great… if you’re not bogged down in looking at numbers it displays the basics of speed, distance, ascent and time. Leaving the rider to concentrate on what riding is about: the ride.

It does all thg GPSy things that the other ones do too, if you want to get all the techy features you need to check out their site, as it just confuses me! And if Fabian is into it, you know it’s got class. I want one. Now. Guess I’ll just have to chip into the Kickstarter.
