http://www.lumelighting.com/showcase/index.asp isn't an option,
altho I'd think I'd still prefer my http://www.bikelights.com/Products/Arc.htm which is if you hunt for it.

Curious social phenomenon occurring - since Giant went seriously upmarket
with their road bikes (carbon everywhere, wheels with no visible means of
support) those that have opened their wallets to one have a problem with a
brand that used to be thought of as, well, cheap.

Solution is to change the pronunciation to "Gee - aunt" which is an
upmarket, socially upward trend setting envy creator, not some popular
Taiwanese bargain !

See, taking your brand upmarket is about how well you can spin, and that has
nothing to do with cadence.
