The headlight is a 25w sealed beam halogen from Home Depot, the tailight is a red strobe light, and the battery (in the really old school saddlebag) is a lead-acid gel batter from an electronic supply house. Tires are Kenda cyclocross. Brakes are an old raleigh lever working a centerpull through the reflector bracket that serves as a headlight mount. Repacked the Suzue hub and the rest of the bearings with lithium grease and I'm ready for another Minnesota Winter.

It's a fillet brazed Super Sport frame, now waiting to be rebuilt with suntour parts.
