who has the oldest wireless bike computer?
Found this in my box of stuff. I don't remember exactly when I bought it or even what bike I was using it on. The box says 1990. Decided to see if it still worked and two new batteries later it works like a charm..figured the cockpit of my 1993 Serotta would be a great place for it.

This is C & V, what you really need is one of those Huret mechanical odometers,

I've got one of these for the Herse, with its own dedicated braze-on.
And it's technically wireless as well

I had one of these on my Miyata back in the 1980s. When the sensor stopped working, I had it in my car as a clock/rally timer for a while. I finally threw it away when the LCD bled out and the batteries leaked.

Like a dummy, I broke the hub ring for my Huret wireless odo-compu-meter that would have gotten me bonus points at Eroica.

well, it certainly meets the requirement of being wireless!
I used one of those, but only briefly. The ticking drove me nuts! They weren't particularly suited for quick release hubs either.
I've never tried wireless computers, mostly because I don't see the point.
I've got Cateye's on a few bikes, and Avocets on most of my vintage bikes.
Here's a shot of the Avocet 20 on my International.
while it's not wireless, it is possible to route the wires so there is very little visual clutter.
