I doubt you'll find a better price than what I get.

BioLogic suspension seatpost, the first (and more straightforward, if costly) step of two in suspension-izing my Vybe. I haven't tested it out yet, but if I like it enough, I'll be ordering a second one for the Speed!

I prefer the fit of these to the Beats Powerbeats2 earbuds I used for 1 year. Battery life for both is about 4.5 hours(despite what their websites claims).

I did a google shopping search, and they were listed on Amazon. These are Epics(not Epic II)

i'am planning a one-week cycling trip with my family this summer holiday, so i prepared a bike headlight for each of us, from DuaFire Amazon, only $19, cheap and rechargeable. Never ride in the night before, want to find some suggestion from this forum.

Actually surprised by the quality. All I had to switch out were the tires. All else good to go. Nice for those quick shopping or gym runs and not having to worry about it getting stolen.

Elite Rampa is stellar. Have about 3 sessions on it now. Best thing I could say about a trainer, including this one, is you simply forget it is there and just spin. Works flawlessly with Zwift. Assembly was easy, everything seems well engineered. Thumbs up.

By the way, the Youtube videos by Shane Miller on the Rampa were persuasive in me getting it; check them out if you are interested.

Nashbar 1" threadless CF fork, Nashbar 100mm stem, and Ritchie Logic headset. I finally tired of the slammed, stuck stem on my Schwinn and took a hacksaw to it.

2017 Diverge A1 Sport. Set a budget for N+1 and really stayed as close as possible. I think this bike will do everything I want it too and I was able to not go overboard on the cost. Had it ordered because it's not a color the LBS stocks.

I bought a cheap waterproof rain jacket for cycling on eBay... advertised as beatheable and non-thermal. It was only $30 with shipping. I usually buy mid-grade level (nice, but not super high-end) bike apparel like aerotech designs, pearl izumi, shimano, etc. I didn't want to sink a lot of money into a rain jacket. I may regret it. Aerotech designs sells a nice rain jacket for $100 that is probably much better quality. I have two thermal Aerotech Designs jackets for cold weather riding and they are the best thing since sliced bread.
