noglider Thanks for your advices, what lights you recommend? i have on my road bike a pair of aliexpress usb ligths they have nice lumens but the battery go out of service quick, so i have "backups" , i was planning to do the same on the commuter but better i could take your advice on some brand-model of nice lights, about the fenders the freewheel sounds beautifull on the rear steel fender, a nice ratchet soud


Aubergine About the rack the frame lacks of the m5 holes to fasten one near the drops, maybe i could find an adapter to fasten something or go to drill and use thread tap, ( i added a picture of the rear rack im wanting to use)




79pmooney Maybe i did the spare parts selection with some fear, because on two road bikes restoration i have trouble taking out the saddle post due to galvanic corrosion, but youre right they were abandoned 20-30 years without any grease treatment, in this commuter case doesnt need to be all steel, one of those road (a handmade Miele) bikes, suffered a frame breakage on the donwtube near the headset, i always blame that the force applied (on the workbench) to take out the handlepost (also stucked with galvanic corrosion) and the torch we used caused a frame fatigue there
