Someone in the non-ebay bargains thread mentioned that the Edge 25 doesn't record altitude/elevation, if I recorded a ride on the Garmin then put it into Strava would Strava apply its own elevation stats to it?
Yeah. My previous Garmin was a 705 which didn't have an altimeter. Still get elevation in Strava.
Edit - Appears I was wrong and the 705 did have an altimeter. There is however an option in Strava to calculate it based on their elevation data for your route.

My Edge 25 measures elevation. I think it's GPS estimate rather than in built altimeter, but it is possible to have it on the display. Strava will make it's own calculation for elevation and distance anyway unless you override it. IMO, Speed sensors are a bit pointless. GPS calculated speed should be good enough for pretty much everything you'll need. It's a bit jumpy on twisty descents, but you don't really want to be staring at your Garmin at that point anyway.

Not really a gps question but can anyone suggest me a cheap computer that uses ant+ garmin style speed and cadence sesnors?
I'm tempted to get a Garmin Edge 25 from SportPursuit but then I'll be another £30 or so to add the sensors (computer would mainly be used outdoor but I would like to be able to use it to keep track of the little bit of track riding I do as well).
