Oh, that Gino mount is swanky. I'm definitely trying to keep the chrome theme going, and my front rack has eyelets where the support struts attach, so I could put them there. They are going on the shortlist for my front lights.

My roadbike has the PB blinky on that rack mount, and I'd planned on putting that light onto this bike and taking the rack off my road bike. I bet a P-clamp would work for securing that bracket to this rack.

Yeah, I do like the way these racks look matched with the bike, and they're way more sturdy than I thought they'd be, but the paint isn't very good quality, and is already chipping in some places. When I get new ones I'll get some nice shiny chrome and wood Velo Orange style ones. Hmmm, maybe if I set up the P-clamps right I could get some of the Soma "silver bullet" rear lights to work - those look sweet.

ETA: I am planning on getting a Banjo Bros. rack-top bag (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER) which has a loop to clip lights too, but I've had lights bounce off saddle bag loops like that here because of the rough roads.
