Amazingly, it's been over five years since I got the Cervelo and the Campi Ergobrain. I don't know what's more incredible: that the bike is still going, that I am still going, or that the computer is still going. I remember when having a bike computer get up to 10k miles was a big deal. For that matter, I remember when a bike computer was the size of a Blackberry, but with a tiny one-line dislpay. For that matter, I remember when riders were experimenting with using mechanical speedometers for time trials and aero meant putting duct tape over the laces on your shoes. Water under the bridge. Lots of water...

58K is awesome no doubt, but i'm amazed by the cyclocomputer. I don't know if it's something with my body chemistry or what, but i can't get one to last 6 months, let alone 5 years, geesh.
Well I have to admit that the wire from the right shifter to the computer is held together with electrical tape and stopped working a couple of months ago, but the computer itself is still going strong. It is basically an upgraded Cateye computer. The pickups are identical.
