aye, its the ant+ one so you can mount speed sensor at the rear wheel - bonus for the turbo sessions - cadence and hrm too, connectivity to geonaute where are info logged, like strava i suppose, dead easy to use, probably the only downside is no temp guage would like one of the btwin gps units though, 100 bucks for one, so you can map your route and add to your stats

Hold a moment decathlon have their own gps device? You count the complete kit - the count14 with the sensor not just the single bike computer?

Just reading my cycle active may edition and saw a whole page ad for the T7! Very interesting we may just see more Tribans on the road this year than ever also it had an article on the Btwin GPS it seems there will be 2 models one with the HRM monitor and sensor stuff top off at just under Β£100. I think the lowest Garmin model to compare is the 200. Is it the 500 and above that makes use of sensors? Wonder if these Btwin GPS are worth the money?

Lol I didn't understand if the count14 was the same product I saw for Β£49.99 with all the sensors. I now know it is. Surprised about the b'twin GPS particularly when I came across it in cycle active.

Was out on a club run yesterday. 52 miles up some tough hills, was interesting because 2 guys were with us, one on a T3 and another on a Carrera TDF. They both did the full run, the guy on the T3 made it up the first hill when to rest of us had to walk the really steep bit (only about 30 yards but still, a bit soul destroying), first time in as far as I can remember that I wished for a triple chainset! Mind you he looked like he weighed about 3 stone, which probably helped too! I know that I can barely get past 25 miles on my boardman (40 is the most I've managed) because its such a harsh ride. Testament to how good the T3 is.

Testament to how good the T3 is. I haven't been on a club run yet. Been testing the bike so far. My T7 has a compact crankset (is that what's it called?) so I am looking forward to join with my club Wolverhampton Wheelers a Sunday soon. I can understand spaceflightorange how it would feel about failing to complete the climb - I would too, but over time you will make it and feel like Chris Froome!

Millar won the "King of the Mountains" competition in the 1984 Tour de France and finished fourth overall. He is currently 54 so you can't be that old.
