Your lamp video said it was "private", so I couldn't access it.
thanks again pre, the video should work now, thanks for catching that, i may clearcoat the decals going forward ,i haven't done it on other bikes ive done and they are ok so we will see, i plan on using this bike as a pub crawl, bike night kinda deal, every friday we have a bike ride with a local group here in rochester, this bike was built with that night in mind. i am currently working on adding a rack. I attached an old box to the rack and shellaced the box


i tested the box it fits 2 6packs of bottles very nicely, i also integrated an LED rear light that attached underneath the rack with a push button mounted near the front... not sure how this will look.. .but wanted to use this box in some fashion..
