Heart rate monitor?

[John Burns]

I'm looking for a heart rate monitor with a display I can stick next to
my cycle computer. My computer is a Shimano Flightdeck and shows my gear
positions, so I don't want to change it for one with an integrated
monitor.

Not bothered about one with data logging or anything clever, just the
basics and something that won't break the bank

Any reccomendations?

Anything by Sigma. I used a Sigma PC1600 which is quite good. Cheaper
models are available, like the PC-3 and PC-4. I think the PC1600 has
been discontinued

I finally chucked out my flightdeck and got a Polar S720i. Does
everything and I can download the data to see how lazy I've been. I can
see what gear I'm in by looking...

Decathlon has one:

which certainly won't break the bank, although the monitor is in
wristwatch format rather than bar-mounted.
