There was a time in the 1980s when almost every cyclist had an Avocet cyclometer on his bike. The firm was started in Palo Alto, California in 1976. The first product was the famous "bump" saddle". From there the firm went on to importing Italian Ofmega components under their own brand. It was all good stuff.

The company seems to have become inactive and their website has not changed in over a decade.
