here's mine
it's the aspiretechvelo [china] mount.. very sturdy alloy piece. i chopped down the carbon shorter and used a barend plug to replug the carbon bar. weighs 64 grams with 2 garmin rubber bands and the garmin female piece. u could probably tune it with ti bolts and stuff.

here's the position. i like it because u can angle the arm and stuff to get the top of the edge 500 level with ur stem , aesthetic win i think.... anyways.

Tidy work! Love the way you've shaped it. Was it aluminium you used? Easy to machine, and did you do the bend in the metal yourself?

I was using the FSA mount but the carbon piece kept coming loose, especially on dirt roads, even after cranking the bolt pretty hard. I just took it off because I didn't want to chance losing the computer, but I suppose lock-tite or something might do the trick. I really like the stem bolt mount idea...

Oooh...I'm liking the Quarq Garmin mount. It looks as if the computer will sit lower than on the Bar Fly, which is what I would prefer.
Might have to wait months before it's available though...
