Altimeter

[Westernbiker]

I have seen nice clocks, thermometers and compasses that handlebar mount but cannot find an altimeter. Any one know where I might get one?
Thanks!

Can't quite see how this one mounts, but a little fabricating if all else fails should do it:

Looks like some promising leads here too:

Also, if you're just after functionality instead of aesthetics, most better GPS can give you altitude readings too (My Zumo 550 does, I loved watching it on my ride across Colorado)

Didn't aerostich you to have something like that in the catalog?

My Garmin Quest GPS has an altimeter and like Daniel said .... it can be fun to monitor.

Yea Serk I've been to both them sites, was hoping to find a handlebar mounted one. I will try Aerostitch and see if anything there. I have a GPS but it does not have that function, guess I have a cheaper version.
Thanks guys!

I have a DeLorme handheld GPS that mounts on my bike with a RAM mount which is a temporary solution for a GPS until I get a Garmin 765T with a RAM weatherproof case.

There are several watches like this: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0050325626812a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&QueryText=altimeter&sort=all&Go.y=8&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form23&Go.x=18
that give lots of info. I have mine strapped to the handlebar clamp. I just use a cheap watch with no altimeter. I've seen them for less than $40.
Here's one for $18 with free shipping.  http://cgi.ebay.com/6-1-Altimeter-Barometer-Thermometer-Compass-Weather-/350349997973?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51927cb795
