Yeah, so would love to hear about this light and what you think of it after you start using it.

from what ive heard its pretty much the gold standard for a dymano powered road light, but ill let you know my feels after ive put some miles on it. the main reason i got this was because it has a built in buffer battery and USB charging. i was gonna get a k-lite with a separate battery and switch but its delayed too long because everyones gearing up for this years widlerness races

iirc [MENTION=112127]johnnytheboy[/MENTION] used to have a smaller b&m lamp

light & motion is no slouch though, theyre pretty much the **** when it comes to battery powered lights

I didn't exactly just buy it, but I just got around to taking a pic.

A period correct (seriously ) and color coordinated head badge for my beach cruiser.

Such a solid groupset.


I got a second Specialized Toupe on eBay for pretty cheap. Such a good saddle that I'm gonna try to put one on each bike.

I wonder who made that headset, I wish people who make parts like that would put their name all over it or something so we know who's it is?

Scored my 3rd Specialized Phenom 143 for under $50 on the bay. The old style, not the new. All 4 bikes now have a Phenom, 3 older and the SS has a newer one.

I went back and forth on it for a while like a trackstand at a broken traffic light, but this afternoon I finally dropped a fat $3 on a Hi-Tec™ precision crown race installation tool.



And received some wheels.
