Back in the early 2000's lake freighter loads of Cuban sugar would berth up in windsor for a couple of hours then cross over to the states with Canadian sugar.
Could have been going on for far longer but i was only privy to it for a few years.
Did that switch pre covid and found that being clipped in had made me lazy, not having to put any thought into foot on pedal positioning. All that i had to do was crank away. Riding on flats helped me step up by bike handling skills by a decent margin.
My gear of choice is chromag contact pedals...
Probably has to do with the temperature that they keep the cop shop at.

Its disheartening to think of all the vintage timepieces that are being scraped for precious metal value these days.
Thinking tho that might however bump the value of remaining pieces when collectors come to terms with the rarity of some models.

The last set of TPMS sensors i bought were less than $50 all in from amazon and FWIW haven't had any difficulty with mating them with my domestic made vehicles.

From the looks of it if you are doing more XC type the Ibis would be it.
If enduro or downhill the Specialized models might be more suitable. The comp is more upscale with the limitation of 32 or less chainring, not that that should be a big deal.
Got to say that that they all look respectable...
