I bought a Surly Karate Monkey last week to keep my other mountain bike company. Photos to come once I get done tweaking it.

Yesterday Scrod ordered my Heavy Pedal Tempo carbon wheelset and today he ordered my Wraith track frameset. Both should get to me before my 70th birthday. Still need to buy other parts like the crankset, but will wait a couple of weeks so they are on my credit card's next billing cycle.

For the roadie. The Soma has the swift on it and it ain't coming off any time soon!

Just got one of the little Knog Skull Blinders for the front today. 20 lumens, and I can't believe how bright this thing is.
Also LOVE that I can just plug it into the USB port on anything to charge it.

It looks cool but 20 lumens isn't that bright so be careful riding at night if that is your only light. Those tiny accessory lights are always hard to see and I frequently don't see fellow cyclists very well that use them. They might look bright to the naked eye when shined in the eye but at night with all the other lights out there it is dim.

I am curious to check out the light though because I love playing with stuff like that.

I honestly probably would keep it on solid, but being USB-rechargeable and fairly small, the runtime is only about 2 hours on solid, "Eco-Strobe" is closer to 7.
And it's not a typical rave-strobe, it's almost a dimming effect as it strobes.

It makes me wish I was one for jerseys. Perhaps. The cap will do.
