    Hopefully I have posted enough on imtbtrails to place an Ad in the Classifieds.

    Looking for a Garmin Edge either the 500 or 705 to put on Cathy's bike.
    If you have one and looking to sell, lemme know.

    Thank you!

    I lost a 500 on Rockit trail in Aliso-Woods a year ago. If you find it, you can have it. :)

    Hey Mikie, I have an edge 500 that I bought off a buddy that I've yet to use. I'd help you out with it if I can make up my mind on whether to keep it or not. Are there any benefits other than real time data to using this over my phone running Strava? Convince me that im not missing out on something :laugh:

    The Garmin battery will last way longer than your phone's.

    But will my legs last longer than my phone? Ah, HA!

    Good point. I've been hesitant to set it up mainly because my phone is always with me anyway...and most rides are sub 3 hours for me so it seems unnecessary for my current riding situation. Maybe I need to do some all day epics, my body usually tires before anything epic happens though!

    Hey Mikie, I'll get back to you on the Edge, I have a barfly for it as well (new). I can send it to you and you can try before you buy..let me take a look at it first, I just picked it up as well.

    Greg,
    To be honest it's going to be hard to talk you out of the 500 as I am a firm believer in a dedicated computer for my bike. Mainly because I do not use or own a personal smart phone (I have a company supplied phone).
    A lot of guys have gone to using their phone and it seems there are a lot less Garmin's on bikes these days. Cathy and I are old skool and don't mind porting it in to a computer to upload the data. So if you feel it's not the thing for you, let me know. Figure out how much you want for it and if it fits our budget I will be happy to come down and go for a ride and we can do the exchange...:)

    What are you looking for specifically in the 500 and 705? If you want something real basic...you can look for a Edge 200. They can be found for around 50 used. It doesn't have the ANT+ connection like the 500. So no HR monitor and Cadence sensor. I think you can upload routes onto the 200 also. Picking up a GPS signal can be slow on the 200 though.:sleep:
