B&M IQ-X Dynamo Headlight Review
I always want to replace the cheap dynamo headlight on my Marin Muirwoods with a better one. Here's a thorough review of the B&M IQ-X I wanted to get.

Shimano Dura-Ace vs Ultegra and Dura-Ace vs 105
I always wonder what's the difference between these groupsets. Why Dura-Ace cost a lot more than Ultegra and 105?

Bikes I Sold
I've been changing my rosters lately. Don't get me wrong, I love all my bikes, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten them in the first place.
Bikes I no longer own:
Trek Sawyer (Gold) - Love it. It's much lighter than I thought. Sold it because it's too nice of a bike to be ridden and taken abuse.
Soma Juice 29er - Light weight steel mtb. I purchased Surly Ogre as a replacement, which I feel might be a mistake. Juice is a much lighter frame than the Ogre, and it handles better. Takes a double kickstand too. Argh...
Surly Long Haul Trucker 26" - My plan was to bike to SoCal (from NorCal), but due to my current situation, I'll have to take a rain check and it's too heavy as a commuter; therefore, I sold it.
Pake C'mute - Don't know why, it's a great bike for commuting.
Jamis Aurora - I like this bike a lot, but sold it b/c I feel the standover height is a bit too high, but not dangerously high
Origin8 CX700 Frameset - I love the way how you can turn it into any kind of bikes you want, but the frameset itself is super heavy.
All City Mr Pink - Modern steel bike. It's a great bike but I liked vintage italian ones better.
Currently in my stable:
Torelli - Columbus Nemo tubing, first bike I bought with the paycheck from my first job, fast
Mondonico Diamond - Columbus SLX tubing, love the way it handles, but it's way too stiff
Mikkelsen Road Bike - fast, but another bike I feel gets too much attention.
Surly Ogre - Alfine 8 town bike
Marin Muirwoods 29er - My beater. I can take it to the mountain or regular roads with this bike.
80's Fuji Del Rey - Another beater that just won't die. It also serve as a guest bike.
Dahon Helios - Folding and guest bike. Not heavy to carry it around. Using to commute to the SF Peninsula by Bart.
