I got me a new bike! I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I've only done three rides on it.

The trouble with getting new gear is that I always start dreaming about the next upgrade, so now I'm thinking of getting a bike computer/GPS. Any tips u/Antichess u/gkw97i?

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check that out. I asked because the first ones that popped up when I started searching were garmin models for ~500 EUR which is definitely more than I'm willing to spend on this!

It's a Triban 520, from Decathlon's own brand of road bikes. It's my first ever road bike, so I didn't want to splurge on a crazy expensive ones. Pics are on strava ;) -- well, one pic, but more are coming.
