Looking for a Garmin Edge 305 w/ HR and Cadence monitor. I know people don't usually have these thing lying around, but if you have one and want to upgrade, I've got cash. I need one for this new training thing I got goin.

I checked out the forerunner. I want cadence as well and it would be nice to have it on my bike where I can see everything. I'm selling some stuff on ebay to raise funds.

The original edge 305 comes with the stuff she needs.
Another route could be a regular computer with a cadence sensor and then buying a wrist style hrm. Might be a bit cheaper.

I have the Forerunner 405 which has cadence... Great for the summer but blows in the winter... I have lost signal with it being buried under my glove and jacket... Strapping it over the two is not an option so I strap it to my bars which in that case makes me want an Edge... As I start to use it more I wish I had a map to follow... On the other hand in the summer I like it on the wrist for the fact that it is secured from falling off without me of course

with the bike mount and cadence sensor it comes to 260ish plus tax. orrrr i found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-Garmin-Ed...ultDomain_0&hash=item2eb299c4ab#ht_500wt_1156
I've dealt with this ebay seller & had a good experience with him. My 305 came back as good as new. Not sure if it wouldn't be worth spending the extra $30 for a brand new 1 though.
Also, cadence is not very relevant for mountain bike and probably not so much except for people who are training on the road like pros, but I guess it's fun to look at or something.
Having said that I'd still go with the Edge vs Forerunner since it's good for exploring new trails and roads. Plus it will give you more pretty numbers to look at.
