My new replacement light, mfr rated @ 700 lumens, tested @ 770 lumens, it's great, a car headlight is supposedly 900 lumens. Super light, great ergonomics, TWO AND A HALF HOUR RUN TIME on high, which ROCKS. Under $100 on Amazon. These lights are getting much better and much cheaper than they were just a couple of years back.

You don't get it. If I wanted WIRES on my light I'd just leave home with a light fixture and a 10 mile extension cord.

On another, much heavier, note: I've been looking and looking and looking at drop bar MTB conversions. The plan is to get the bike, mock it up and see how the fit is, then cable it if I like the fit. I'll give it a few rides after that and if I really like it, then I'll spring for tires, and perhaps more dirt appropriate drop bars.
And.... even though the 80's fade is super sweet, I'm almost 90% likely going to chemical strip it and leave a bare metal finish with a WD-40 treatment IF I decide to commit to the frame long term. |

So...this sucks. No riding this last week and a half, the wife had a tendonosis attack on Black Friday, ER, MRI's...yada, yada, yada...fast forward, me running her around to appointments, pain management (luckily it's backed off substantially as of today...), now the hunt for a specialist who will approach things holistically is on...
She's had a frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capulitis), rotator cuff issues, and now this. She also has familial hypercholesterolemia, and has recently been placed on Zetia by her recently acquired Lipid Dude (I found him...) luckily her Cardiac Calcium Scan from a while back indicates nil coronary artherosclerosis etc...now she has some slight Zanthomas... I know correlation doesn't equal causation but nevertheless she's one of those folks who exhibits all the side effects. Therefore my hunch is Zetia is a player in this latest episode. Next stop Hospital For Special Surgery and me driving Rheumotologists up the wall. But tomorrow...and this weekend, I Ride!!!! |

I dunno how I got to the point of liking my bars close to my seat level. One of the crappy parts of getting old, I guess. |

No pictures of the Allez hanging from a shop scale, but I did weigh it using the bathroom scale method. About 18.5 pounds with pedals, bottle cages, and bar fly.
The pedals and accessories probably weigh about a pound. So, 17.5 pounds using the "industry" set up. |
Well, not exactly "as ridden". I would need to add the saddle bag and a couple of full water bottles.

Just bought Samsung Note 5's for my wife and myself. Damned nice little pieces of technology.
