Y U NO TELL ME
boo
but nahhhhh it (and my fenix) should hold me over til i get something real
blinder road 2 looks nice but not for that price, plus i don't feel like knog has really figured out how to make a reliable product yet from what i've read
cygolite expilions have good reviews on amazon but they're now $25 more expensive than when i last looked so no thanks

A pipe cutter and Bontrager handlebar tape.
Did a flop and chop on my track drops. Really pleased with the results, much more useable hand positions of my style of riding.

Kryptonite U Lock.
I think I might go look for a helmet soon. I also need a bottle cage that doesn't need bolts, since my frame doesn't have any.

I just electrical tape the cage to the seat tube of my frame. I've tried butt-rockets and they suck. I've also tried the Minoura saddle rail mount which was better, but still not that great.

Today what began as a simple trying on of a buddy's helmet ended up in me discovering the helmet destined/made for me. It fit like a tailored suit, two pieces to a puzzle, and it's a giro! 
Went to my closest dealer only to find they're a strictly specialized store, offering me an s-works prevail instead which I sneered at.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
I have been waiting to build these up for quite a while... they are 126mm and most of our new hubs are built to 120, 130, or 135mm and I could just take a set of those off the shelf.
Arvon gave me these a while back (perks of the job) when I mentioned I wanted to build some new touring wheels for my Cascade, rear has a triple cartridge bearing while the front is a standard double and they are smoother than warm butter on glass.
Rims are de-branded CR18, spokes are stainless.

The Toronto market sucks, I feel your pain! Try this: https://www.wiggle.com/tacx-bottle-cage-saddle-mount/ or use heavy duty zip ties.
