The lights on the 2010 Transfer are not bad. The front is a halogen Basta light that is decent for low speed night riding. The rear light is not incredibly bright as it is a single LED, but it incorporates a nice reflector and it is photo and motion sensitive. I like those features as I ride through an overpass on my commute that is quite dark. I often don't run my rear lights during the day so the built in one comes on and helps in that section. I have yet to test out the fenders, but they seem similar in build to my Planet Bike Freddy Fenders on my other bikes. I will also be testing out the rear rack soon as I just got a pair of Axiom Typhoon panniers to use on my commute. Besides the weight (which was not a surprise for me) the bike is really well put together. The wheels seem built reasonably well and strong (36 hole) and the Randonneur tires are a nice and tough. Note: The bike did arrive with different fenders and rear rack than shown on the website. Not a big difference, but if someone wants me to post pictures I would be willing to do so.
