WTB: Garmin 500 or 510 with HRM and spd/cadence sensor
In the market for a 2nd hand 500 or preferably a 510 bundle. Must include HRM strap, spd/cadence sensor and mount/s.
There appears to be a wide price variance for brand new units. Is a new model on the horizon or something?

Todd and I will be taking the C25 and C28 groups out next Sunday. We'd prefer if you are paid up member of cycling Australia, for insurance reasons. But give us a try anyway. The groups are well disciplined and predictable. We have a no drop policy for the 25s.
