I think Peter White's webpage is pretty useful (for the most part...) -- see for example https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/plight.php -- and there's often very useful photos of small bits if you poke around more. His labor prices are extremely good for the quality of his work, and if you're

Agree on both the IQ-X and Toplight Line Plus lights, they're fantastic. I have a cheapo Herrmans M4 Black on a different bike. It throws a lot of light in a decent pattern, but it is _much_ worse at low speeds -- the capacitor must be a much lower rating, since it flickers very distractingly

Hi everyone, Before going to town on stem / hb combinations to dial in fit on my (now-back-in-Chicago) Rom, I was thinking of trying a more setback seatpost. Since this is for fit, any condition will do. I prefer silver if possible, but not picky. Size is 27.2mm. Does anyone have one of these
