Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I got these fenders, some brand I'd never heard of, and this headlight, from the same seller (in Germany). The fender has strips of aluminum in it, and snaps where you can attach wires for a taillight. And the taillight is made to go on a fender. Cool, huh? But the curve on the taillight dictates a location far lower down on the fender than the snaps. So I had to made a bracket from aluminum.



I made this taillight from a copper 3/4" pipe cap, beaten to a bullet shape, soldered to scrap copper, with an LED and optics inside it.

And the matching headlight:


Admittedly these were not very bright lights, and have been replaced with higher tech stuff.

Here's an old standby...

That's a Wald rear rack, substantially down.
