ah... c'mon... you realize the big one is meant for inside on ergometers and the smaller one is mean for on the bike, outside... looks to be about the size of SRM or Ergomo units, maybe even smaller than a Garmin unit.

Wow, Cycleops have exceeded my expectations once again. They've managed to produce a unit that looks even cheaper and more like it was made in a Taiwanese sweat shop, rather than the current and cheap looking PT which looks it was designed by Fisher Price and made in China.

It's a sad day when you get better designed toys for your kid to play with for $50 than you do when you spend $1000+ for bike stuff!

i agree.. they need to hire some industrial designers in a big way.. although SRM and Ergomo are not much better... garmin stuff on the other hand is head and shoulders above the rest.. guess it comes from producing for mass consumer market rather than some nice market where you've kinda got to take what you can get.. new functionality looks very good though...

Anyone know if the new outdoor model still relies upon a separate GPS for altitude?
