I like the simpleness of the fixed gear bikes.Clean lines---no clutter.But should I add a braze on for a small light to the front fork blade? and a braze on to the rear to attach a small blinky?Would this kill the looks?

braze on? Can't you find a clip-on?

Yeah, i'm hoping that's what he meant. Braze ons seem like overkill.

Back to the point though, I'd say just put the lights on. But i'm more of a function guy than a fashion guy.

I've got a generator light on the fork of my ghetto-ass three-speed. I tend to use it more as a drag brake than an actual light, though.
