Just bought a Performance Forte Classic Saddle. An inexpensive experiment to help me figure out which Selle SMP I should spring for. My Selle Anatomica has run its course and no manner of adjustment has me comfortable despite the 6Kmiles+ I put on the SA.

Both great service and attitude. Bought from the second one because they had the demo that fit me.

Side note, got a ISM Adamo Prologue saddle as a B-Day gift. So far its actually pretty good. No numbness, soreness, or chafing. It is definitely a weird saddle and have to get use to it. Haven't found the right seating position yet but even with that, haven't had any serious discomfort.

I don't always sniff glue, but when I do I prefer Mastik One.

It's already dark within an hour of getting home from work. Enter MagicShine 808E. Seems bright as the sun, should be great for these "night rides". Wool jersey from Portland Cycleworks within the next month.
And for the commute to work during cool to soon to be cold mornings:

Because they can! Garmin has a lock on spare parts for their stuff, and since they overcharge for their computers and know people will buy them anyway then they know they can charge $50 for a $2 mount. I got a second mount for my Sigma and it cost me $10 including a sensor with the wire, wheel magnet, and straps.

What does that mean? Your point was that Garmin can charge whatever they want for their peripherals because they're Garmin. Now you extend that to include K-Edge? Why doesn't K-Edge make a Sigma mount then and charge $50? Using your logic, it will sell equally as well.
fwiw, I plan to buy a K-Edge mount because it extends the head unit out beyond the reach of the cover I use on my bike on the trainer.

I'm converting my avant-garde Volagi to a Fredly climbing machine with the advanced technology shown, below:
Ultegra triple FD and 12-27 cassette will complete the conversion. I now have a spare FSA SL-K compact. and Ultegra double FD. The green "K" is a bit of a problem, but I'll live with it.
