Looking for a vintage road bike and this popped up. Im not familiar with campagnolo as much. what would be the shimano equivalent to Campagnolo Veloce?

Found this Kona Tonk in the pawn shop in need of adoption and gave it a good home. I also gave it some Martindale wheels

I'm in need of a wheel set for a build. It's a steel frame Kona Tonk. I don't need it particularly lightweight or racing, but just high-quality. I would like to ride this bike a few days a week as a commuter. In the sea of Fulcrums and Mavics these wheels kinda stand out to me. It's very hard to find information on these. They seem to be a small handmade wheel set company and these are one of their lower end options. I want to know if the price is reasonable or should I go with one of the more mainstream brands like DT Swiss Mavic or Fulcrums.

I was browsing for tools at the pawnshop when a sticker caught my attention, "Reynolds 520." I know its the not the best steel but usually bike shaped objects don't come in brandname steel. I look closer at it, Its a Kona Tonk, in my size for 100. One of my favorite bike brands in my size that cost just enough for my pocket money. The frame had some wear marks and rusty parts. I knew some TLC and some new tires were all it needed. I took it home and started working on it immediately. Third and forth picture after a deep clean.

Its gonna need a lot of the work but its gonna be a fun journey. The frame is shockingly nice, the paint is still good with only normal wear marks. The down tube is almost pristine. On a side note how do people ride with bars turned up like this?

I've used this bike as a commuter for a couple years now but last year I got a hand injury that put off the bike for 6 months when I got back on the bike I was so out of shape I struggled up any hills which made me not want to ride anymore. I remembered what got me into riding was an ebike then eventually I got fit enough to not need an ebike anymore. Now I'm starting over with the fitness Journey.

Been EDCing this beast for a couple weeks and it's shockingly usable. Good beam pattern, good tint, ok CRI and super efficient. Guys this is the emitter to get.

The dog doesn't know he's getting kibbles for the next month instead of wet food.

I have this UV Gel light I really like but it its corded which is a hassle. I don't have one station and float around the salon with a cart. I'd like to convert this CND gel light to cordless. Yes they do make cordless ones now and I can easily justify the price but they don't seem to last very long while this one is pushing 8 years old.

So in preliminary fitting I can squeeze 3 or 4 18650 cells into the bottom case, circled in the last pic. The power requirement is about 30 watts, shown by the sticker on the bottom. This seems to be in line with commercially available products which also use 3s1p packs.

I theory I can get some high performance 18650s to handle 30 watts but I don't know where to start with the boost converter solution. Ideally they should compact and all in solution. TYPE C charging would be and absolute luxury but not necessary. Any suggestion for such a board would be appreciated.

I can solder and 3d print but can't design boards.

A few years ago he tried to enact a policy where teachers must inform the parents if their kids are trans, as if it is enforceable at all. This guy is cringe incarnate.
