Depends how deep u are into the hobby. Some people ride almost everyday, some people only once a week, fortnightly or monthly. Some with purpose of commute, some for leisure, some for sports/health, some for racing etc. Some are rich with high spending power, some can hardly let ends meet. There are so many factors to determine whether something is worthy or not. So how to answer u?

Last time I always buy the latest high end phones. Now I only buy low or mid range phones like mi 4i. I don't see why I should spend 1k for a phone.

Also I am into photography. I have several system cameras and spending into the tens of thousands. I find it worth last time, but over the years I find them waste of money. But I am still spending unnecessary until this day.

First ? No ... normally those who spend that amount have own 1 bike at least

If you're asking how to spend 10k I think you're in the wrong forum

I have one cheap bike <$100 which I used daily for my work. I have also ride a $1k bike. the performance is a lot better than my cheap bike.

i think of getting a new bike for my weekend cycling and i saw online bikes selling at $10k. other than those hardcore or racers, does it make sense to buy as i love to go for speed when i cycle.

i think your bike is ~10k now rite? with the upgrades you made.

So is it better to 1 shot buy 10k or slowly up?

Bright enough for what?

It's bright enough for others to see you, whether it is bright enough for you to see by is another question.

Bright enough for normal use in Singapore?

I am interested in "front brake mount" lights recently, got any good recommendation?

Well, the one posted is good enough for normal use. The street lights are quite good on most roads. The lights are not good enough to see by on PCNs but they are more than enough for others to see you.

Most "front brake mount" lights are dyno-powered though which means more cash needed.

Anyone have any idea if local shops sell this kind of mtb shoes? Where the sole is completely flat kind.
