Not so much out of place, just not quite the right size. I had mine mounted on the light bracket where the larger chrome light had been. The one on my Twenty is mounted from the stem pinch bolt. The one I am using on my son's city bike is mounted from the brake center hole on the fork (like yours) the on on my Excursion is mounted on the rack mount. That is getting swapped out for a Cyo and the Classic will go over to my wife's Colt or Twenty. Need to order another one or two.

I like the Classic, but it just doesn't put out the light that the better systems do. If only there were a way to run a magicshine off of a dynamo....

Lets light this thread up!

Today was out shopping for kitchen appliances and supplies but something made me backtrack to an antique mall. Found a bunch of old bike lamps and flashlights. Some were early and beyond my sense but I did score a few battery types. The bike lamp is a USA brand Elite but made in Hong Kong British Crown Colony...lol. NOS but scuzzy from sitting. The instructions are a hoot. Also acquired some D cell battery flashlights that will mount to bikes. One is a copper plate Rayovac bullet and the other some USA made from the 1920's. The Hong KOng will go with my Raleigh DL1. Might attempt an LED conversion.

Part of the batch of lamps acquired. Pics are before I cleaned them. All are in great condition. Might go back and take a closer look at the small oil lamps the seller has. Thinking of mounting these with plumbers copper strapping, knurled nut, screw. Retrofit LED's.
