...not that I go shopping around for 75 cent items. That would be a poor use of my time. I had planned on buying a fender and a light along with the link, but they would only sell the fenders in a pair (I only needed one) and after testing the various lights I decided to buy a different one (which I could get cheaper elsewhere). So I left with just the link.
