I'm still using mine, I have three packs I rotate through and this has been great.

Bike Check: Caleb Holonko's 27.5" Kona Process X
I wish this were an actual bike you could buy as it sits without monkeyf*ckery to make the lesser 27.5 process built into this bike. I see a lot of responders are as frustrated as I am & being herded to the wagon wheel option or a mullet seems is BS. I'm 5'7" ~ I hate riding 29" wheeled bikes. I hate that companies I've chosen from for the 35+ years I've ridden aren't selling to the rider. My options are slim in the $3500 to $4000 range for a 27.5 all-mountain kind of bike (even in the used market).

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Ride At Night?
@Mouette230: Lighting is a personal choice and there is so much posturing about what is/isn't "good" - that said, I've used magicshine for years, they are plenty bright and I've personally had no issue with them. I have a Gloworm light for my helmet and I have an ancient cygolight that is my "if something does break" backup. My total outlay for them all was around $350 (I bought them a piece at a time). One thing I have noticed, there is such a thing as too much light. I hate having all the contrast washed out of the terrain by a megaton blast of white light (some of my cohorts think the more lumens the better the lighting).

Photo Epic: Iconic Retro Bikes at The Malverns Classic Retro Show & Shine
Thank you for this coverage, it made me feel like a kid again, most of the bikes I drooled over back in 1985/86 when I started riding cross country in Corvallis Oregon on my "Montagna" ~ bought from Corvallis Cyclery (still in business over 30 yrs later). My brother has a pristine 1996 Atlanta Olympics Cannondale & I'm sad I sold my Klein Rascal with the gold XC500 Marzocchi ~ Lordy I'm old.
