My bicycle procurement

My whole bicycle and accessories are all bought from Taobao, shipped by Sea and some by Air.

Some friends asked me where I bought it, so I went through my shopping list again and copied the links to them.

Since the item urls might be useful for people who are buying or looking for similar item that I have bought, I decided to share their links here.

The battery can last ~8 hours. I bought the highest capacity (17400 mAh). Will have indicator to show if low batt. Battery itself is similar size to the light, and quite heavy, maybe 300g-400g? Photo taken during daytime. The light is really bright. 3 modes: high, low, flash.

really strong and solid. but heavy. 1kg+. need to buy medium size one. small size would be too small. large size doesn't come with the holder to hold at the seatpost.

The shop that I bought from no longer sell this product. I simply browsed and found this another shop.
I got the yellow 3M reflective strip from OCBC Singapore (first event, can't remember which year, 2010?)

I broke 2 pairs of pedal (stock one, foldable, broken at 40km+). Then I got a plastic one from my friend, also broken after 20km. Then I bought this 'aluminium' one.
