For Sale: Garmin Edge 305 GPS Bike Computer

Texbiker.net Posted on by

Garmin Edge 305 GPS-enabled computer for cyclists. I am asking $167.00. This is a used unit (for about 1 year) that has faithfully recorded my riding activity. I have the original box and the manuals. Included are two bike mounts, the USB cable and wall charger, cable ties to mount the brackets. No extra sensors are included. I use this almost every day with both the Garmin Connect website and the SportTracks training program. Some features of the Garmin Edge 305: auto lap by location or distance, auto pause, calories burned, alerts for speed, distance, time, cadence. You can purchase the GS-10 speed/cadence sensor on Amazon.com for about $38.00. I can accept Paypal.

I am selling this because I have purchased a Garmin Edge 500.
