Product Description
Sigma Topline BC1606L Bicycle Computer.
The Sigma computer for dedicated cyclists. The "L" in the BC1606L is for the "smart" back light. The cadence functions (current and average) provide valuable training data for efficient cycling both on the road and in the woods, and can be turned off completely when not in use. The count down timer is perfect for crits, cross, or racing against the clock.

 First Bike Computer July 30, 2010

After a lot of researching I decided on this computer. I am very please with my decision. I was first looking for a computer that could be used on a trainer (rear wheel sensor) and this fit the bill. I love the crisp display. Installation was not complicated, however I agree that an additional 2 cable ties would have been helpful. So many settings makes it wonderful to gather data about the ride - normal trip time, trip distance, total odometer, total time, average time, cadence, avg cadence, stopwatch, count-up timer, count-down timer...i'm likely forgetting some.
Excellent product, perfect shipping, highly recommend.

This is a terrific cyclocomputer...even better than advertized. It came with two mounts (for two bikes), one cadence set-up, sensors, magnets, mounting stickers, bands, tie-wraps...everything you need...perhaps more. The best feature is having a cord long enough on one of the mounts to easily reach the rear wheel (great for when you are set-up on a trainer). The magnet even fits bladed spokes. The instructions are good and installation was simple. Some other reviewers complained about installation difficulty but they must be folks who haven't set-up a computer before. The display is a bit larger than expectd and and contrast is crisp. In addition to the normal trip time, trip distance, total odometer, total time, average time, cadence, etc there's also stopwatch, count-up timer, count-down timer...sheesh! TMI but what the heck.
awesome computer for the price October 15, 2009

Just got and installed this computer today. couple things you should know about it:
1) the backlight is like an indiglo watch. when you have it "on" (really "on" means "enabled") whenever you hit a button it lights up for a few seconds. It does not change modes or whatever unless you hit the button again which is nice.
2) other reviewers have rightly noted that the refresh rate is rather slow. If this bothers you, this is not the computer for you. Backlight was more important to me than anything else as I ride a lot after dark. If I don't have a backlight I might as well just not have a computer at all.
3) the computer comes with two wheel sensors; one front wheel and one rear wheel. The front one *always* reads as "Bike 1" and the rear one as "Bike 2." There is no way to change this unless you want to get into disassembly, glue, soldering, etc. There is only one cadence sensor and one wheel magnet in the box so to fully install this on two separate bikes you would need to purchase another cadence sensor and wheel magnet.
I didn't have any problems mounting this with the cadence sensor on the stem of my old bike. I suspect that the problems others may have had was because they had large threadless stems; I have an old aluminum quill that is rather slender. You might have to gently bend the connectors to get it to work on a larger stem. (I don't have a whole lot of handlebar real estate on my bike...)
that's about it. I'll try to remember to check back and comment on durability in a while, but I suspect that this is being closed out and replaced by a newer product, because of the very low price so by the time I get around to it it may no longer be available.
edit: I see that this computer is still available... it's still on my bike, too. Still working fine and on the original battery. Have not discovered anything about it that wasn't already covered in my original review. It's just working and doing its thing, and since all I really wanted was something to tell me appx. how fast I was going, how far I'd gone, and how fast my legs were turning, it's met my needs perfectly.

Installation was a snap and the features are great. I bought this unit because I use my bike on an indoor trainer and need the speed from the rear wheel. This unit has everything a serious bicyclist would need on a bike computer.

Well, what can I say? It works and it's relatively cheap. The buttons and overall usage take some getting used to, but the readout is awesome and the backlight comes in handy. I use this on my Trek Y5 and I've put well over a few hundred miles on this computer. Works like a charm. Survives the rain. It looks great compared to some others!
On important note: You have to be on the "language" option to EXIT the settings mode. Beat myself to death trying to figure that one out.
