I agree that the Avocet looks like a good unit compared to
the other available 'bike computers'. I had one ordered at
the end of June. The dealer told me that Avocet would be
shipping them July 15. Around July 25 I called the dealer
to inquire about the whereabouts of my unit and he told me
that Avocet will not be shipping until mid September. Several
other dealers confirmed this, and none expressed any confidence
in Avocet's ability to meet this new self-imposed deadline.
A nearby bike shop (Mahn's) told me that they cancelled their
order of Avocet clothes because of repeated delays in shipping
the order.
So it looks likely that no-one has any experience with the 
Avocet cycle-meter because, although heavily advertised,
it has yet to be shipped. Please if I am wrong and you
have managed to aquire one, tell me where you got it. I
am going on a trip in September and would love to get one
before then.
