  1. What happened to Avocet? I can no longer find their merchandise in bike
    catalogs. The only source for their wares I can find is at their website.

    After 8 years of reliable service, my Avocet 45 TT cyclecomputer laid
    itself to rest. I really like the simple, minimalist, compact,
    non-interpolating (or at lest much less so) magnet-pickup design and
    I've been unable to find a suitable replacement. Any recommendations?
    (For what it's worth, I never bothered to use the cadence feature; in
    hindsight the 35 model would have suited me just fine).

    Also, now that I am aware of Avocet's absence, I should probably stock
    up on saddles. I really like my men's O2 40M model saddle which I've
    ridden for a few years now. Avocet fulfilled another segment of the
    saddle market - those of us with widely spaced sitbones and in need of a
    wide rear saddle of the sports/racing variety (e.g. not a mushy
    "comfort" saddle).

    Thanks!

    Your 45TT can be repaired by Avocet. There have been many positive
    postings here about Avocet Customer Service. Give them a call.
