Dick smith have them for $79 - not as cheap as the ALDI ones but worth a look as well. I might pick one of them up as I have been looking for one as well so I'll let you know what it's like if you are interested? Oh BTW - the dse one is an Atech which has had a bit of negative press but by the looks of it your milage with them may vary.. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

The DSE A-Tech one is the model I bought for my oldies (bit hard to justify a Polar 720i for them..). The cheststrap is rather chunky, but I figured that's fine, its cheap. But it has been back for exchange a few times within 12 months, which is a few times more than I would think acceptable. Seriously, I've seen a Polar A1 for $80 recently (on sale). I've had two Polars now (admittedly not the cheapies) and never had a problem with them. Spend the money - it's worth it. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Been trying to find where I saw that one on sale and came across this site... http://www.dickinson.com.au/prices/polar.asp First reaction was - not a bad price, then I noted the address. I used to live in that building!!! It's a block of apartments - he's on the 2nd floor. So obviously not a company with a huge amount of backing (or overhead, hence the prices I guess...). -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
