I don’t have one for sale but I can tell you that specific model is the right combo at the right price and you don’t need the camera one.I want to try out the Garmin Varia RTL515, anyone might have one for sale. New or used in good condition?

Agree the OEM seat post mounts are not great but the device works incredible. To me for the money the 515 is the best option.I picked up Varia RTL515 after reading these posts. It's pretty awesome. I like when a product works exactly as advertised. I'm using it with my Garmin 830 and seems that the alerts are pretty loud. Loud enough to hear when going down a steep road at over 30 mph. I love not having to constantly look over my shoulder to see if a car is behind. It lets me ride a little further away from edge of the road and when I hear an alert I tuck in a bit to let the car pass me safer. This is the version without camera and battery life appears good. I did two rides totaling about 11 hours and it still didn't give a low battery life warning. It looks like they're still on sale for $150. The only thing I don't truly like is the seatpost mount. Mine is D shaped and the included mount fits but it's two rubber bands that secure it to the post and the mount shifts a bit to left or right each time I install the radar. My other bike has a round post and there are plenty of aftermarket mounts that secure with a screw and those won't move.
Hi S,They’re $150 right now, we have some in stock.
He’s at Hilltop in Summit.Hi S,
What store are you from 🙂
Might pop in one day to get one. thx
Now feel naked without it. One thing to add for those who just got one: don't trust it fully.
I have a wedge seat post on my SuperSix Evo X and I've been using the rubber band mount, but I like these more permanent options.This company also has a pretty wide range of mounts for different seatpost types:
