If you’re not amortizing Euroshipping, Cantitoe Road in Colorado has the Herrmans MR-8 for $50 right now. Supposedly 60 lux.
They also sell the Trelock LS-813 on eBay for about $17 all-in:
Plus they also have this cute little fender light:
This versatile rear light, with a spectacular angle visibility of 220°, is easy to assemble with a power input slide, one screw fastening and a no-wires-visible assembly option. It is also available with a seat stay bracket for mounting on a 14–22 mm...
Bikewagon has the Herrmanns H-trace taillight for about $19 on eBay.

Tracking for the bike worked when I logged into my account and put the number into FedEx. It arrives at the shop tomorrow.

Also got the shipping notification Monday AM and the label wasn’t even created until late yesterday and hasn’t been picked up yet.

honestly… classic orbea. they’ve moved a lot of their bikes sold in the U.S. to a warehouse in arkansas but a lot of them are still in spain, so whenever someone at my shop orders one we usually say it takes anywhere between two days and three weeks (and more if its getting custom paint)

Wow, lucky me, mine is currently set to arrive at your shop on Friday.
@alvz put a hot dog in the seat tube. I’ll mail you a hotdog if you don’t already have one.

Aren’t hot dogs banned in Utah or something? Or is that some other weird Mormon blue law I’m thinking of.
So glad that this threat deteriorated into dyno chat
I’ll ship it in a bag of coffee so they can’t touch it.

The copious space between the seat tube and the rear wheel looks like a fine place to carry chopped fire wood.

Did the shop let you know it was ready to pick up, or did you just go down there to tell them to give you your bike?
Shop emailed me yesterday to say they got the order and then we talked today to work out the deets.
I’m so glad I’m broke right now. I should not buy another mini.

I imagine I will need some small parts and cabling to get it all up and running. Maybe some sort of splitter to run front and rear? no fucking idea over here.
@Rent-to-own-Faxmachine whats the verdict on that chinese mountain gruppo?

I keep obsessively refreshing the tracking for mine hoping that it will show up tomorrow instead of Friday. If it’s Friday, then I won’t be able to grab it until Saturday afternoon.
