Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I do too. Just kidding. Are there any other differences other than the 200 lacking Speed Cadence and Heart Rate monitor? I wonder if I'll ever need those features in the future. Do some hardcore cycling over the summer?

those are the only differences. and the 200 is 2 grams heavier (not counting the cadence monitor or heart rate strap).

The Edge 200 doesn't support any ANT+ devices, including power meters. gotta make sure you can push 50 watts!

The lack of a speed sensor makes a 200 worthless on a trainer.

If you plan to log indoor miles get a 500 with a sensor.
