Old, I cant say I know what it is anymore.Small , light and cheap, not really much in the way of features. Oh Yeah, it is an Edge 200! Discontinued now.
Looks like there are a couple of new ones on Ebay Read it over, they are Chinese but have English in it as well, new though. They fit on a standard Barfly mount

I've been using an Edge 200 for several years shared between 3 bikes. Very basic GPS but does the job.

When you put a bike together....
....it is always delightful to discover that it is one sweet ride.
A nearly 40year old endurance bike, sooooo nice in the drops with a tall head tube.

Good looking bike! Always nice when they ride as good as they look. Sometimes they ride a lot better than they look when you have one that is not as nice looking as yours but with a little massaging turns out to be one of the better riding bikes in the stable. Joe

I agree, the measure of quality should be how they ride, over how they show.

A very nice birthday miles ride. Just turned 71 and got in a relaxing 71 mile ride in good weather, just a bit of wind at the end.
The shutdown is a gift to the road cyclist, I spent 30 of these miles on the St Johns river road in the St Augustine area(Rt 13), the 4" wide bike lane makes this ride risky (to say the least) especially during the commute to work times.
But today..I spent most of the ride in the travel lane. I could hear the infrequent vehicle coming before I saw them. I miss those days around here.
This was also my first ride over 50 miles on my Domane (used but nice) the bike is a treasure to ride and the Di2 shifting is addictive,
A sign of age is creeping in. Time was if I was at 71 miles that early in the day I would have come up with a way to do 29 miles in for a century.
The wind on the return trip beat me up though and I was past recovery, ah well, we all get old I guess.

Last year I was out on my birthday ride and called in to the local radio station when it had the "Birthday/Anniversary Give Away" at7:30AM. I was at the 100 mile mark of my "Double Age plus 1 for Good Measure Birthday Ride" and managed to win a Free Meal since my name was picked.

Well thanks for the birthday wish! You live close to some of the best riding country in the SE. I take every opportunity I can to ride the Pisgah area of the Parkway and the surrounding roads. I need to try Helen GA area at some point.
The St Aug area is ok to ride in, pretty flat and absolute hell in mid summer. The Gainesville Fl area is nicer, maybe hotter though.

Summers are a bit brutal here. Not uncommon to be over 100 with the humidity. I either go early, or late in the day.

Haha, one FL summer I wasn’t very meticulous about a quick wash down after sweating all over the Domane, and the salt rotted part of the Isospeed away, Dealer had a heck of a time removing it.

Hello Folks! Mind if I squeeze in here?! Gonna be 66 in October! Looks like a good group here defying the aging process! During this pandemic phase, I noticed that roughly 75% of riders appear to be our group. I ride the Bradenton streets every day I can. Be safe, H

Rode 50 Saturday and 51 today (Sunday); really a recovery ride to Miami Beach averaging 14 MPH. Cross 7 bridges from Miami to Miami Beach.
Still very few cars; mostly bikers and some runners.
Don't recall every riding 50 miles on consecutive days and hard for me to believe at age 75. Been riding for a dozen years and will reach 50,000 miles during that time on my next ride.
Cheers!

Riding 650 miles per month now so guess that helps. Chronological age is one thing but then we all have different genes and work ethic.
Point is we all can do relatively well if we put the time in and have few physical limitations

I am just ticked silly. 3 days 13.5 miles on my local MUP, no aches or pains. And smiling when it over. Young man rode past me and commented on my pace. Ha Ha. We need a 65 jersey. Ha Ha

Will be 70yo in July and just made an unexpected AND unwanted trip to Blake's Trauma Ward last Monday morning from Englewood. Saw an awesome sunrise out the back of the ambulance heading to Blake on 64. Must say the food was very good as was the care as I spent 2.5 days there after suffering a punctured lung, 2 cracked ribs and cracked scapula, results from a wild hog hitting me and down I went 33 miles into a 100 mile MIDNIGHT ride. BIKE IS FINE!!!!!
Saw ortho today and can be back on grocery grabber bike ASA I feel comfortable.

It hit you (vs you hitting it)!? I hope your recovery is swift and the only lasting effect is a good story to tell.

I hope you make quick recovery. Sounds very painful. I’ll be riding in the Bradenton area tomorrow, so I’ll keep an eye out for hogs!

Saw my ortho yesterday and got clearance to easy ride whenever I felt no pain. Got on my wife's MW Schwinn and rode 5 miles today. Doing pretty good for an Old Phart.

OldTryGuy please mend quickly. I have had a whitetail doe follow me down blacktop beside me and thought she was going to crash into me. Instead she went perpendicular to me and jumped a fence. It was scary for a few seconds there. I do miss those rides. I guess I need to start again. Be Well, Bluesfrog.
