Looking for recommendations for a cheap bike computer.

I need GPS to get speed and distance, Tickr HRM compatibility, out front mounting, and Strava upload.
I do not need maps or directions etc.

I've looked at Cycleplus, Posma DB2, Magene C406 etc. Has amyone any real use experience of these or similar that they can share please?

I use a Xoss G+. I've had it about a year now and it does everything you want. Uploads to Strava are via bluetooth and a phone app. When I bought mine it was about £30 but they seem slightly more expensive now. It doesn't come with an out front mount but it uses the same fitment as a garmin so any cheap mount will work.

My non-technically minded chum (think Bernard) has been struggling with his, but I got it to pair really easily. I think his problem was pairing it before the ride and trying to use the phone to start it.

Thanks for the info chaps.
I got the XOSS G+ delivered today, now on charge.
There wont be any use for a month as I had a cataract op yesterday and been told not to do anything strenuous for 4 weeks (!)
