I would like to see your bike with double lights up front, the computer relocated to the stem..
IMO, that would be a smooth setup..
I like my bike too! Thanks. It is a Trek SL1000 -- a bit old but works well. I should move up to 2 lights on the bars. That would be pretty cool, and better vis at night. I had a compass on the stem because in China you often can't see the sun due to the pollution (yes, it is that bad -- it was the reason I left the country) so the compass helped out with that.
I switched to the cat eye because I was on a cross country tour so I wanted a light and didn't want to spend much time buying a light. I was in a bike shop at the time so I went with what was there.
