The lights are basically a PB Superflash ripoffs.
So I cut off the parts from the light brackets that the lights clip into and glued two of these using epoxy to the T-part. You will need to drill holes in the T-bracket to bolt it to the rack like this. http://a-world.net/files/cycling/201...t-mount/01.jpg http://a-world.net/files/cycling/201...t-mount/02.jpg |

Thank you! It's always better to have a picture. I just bought two new superflashes to mount on the back of my new xtracycle build, but might go ahead and install them on my wife's bike as you describe.

I made kind of the same mount except I added a reflector in the middle. The Cateyes slide into the same type brackets that Adam has on his.

It's been a while since I was fluent with the old Peugeot porn - er - catalogs, but whenever I see that Peugeot orange (or the green) on a pearlescent paintjob, it warms my heart. Really nice bike. |

After 3 years of off and on bike commuting on a Redline Monocog 29er I purchased my first road bike
2011 SE Racing draft lite Singlespeed, got here brand new for 200$ http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...3/d106e02a.jpg It's a pleasure to ride, feels like a big bmx bike! Before anyone comments, I realize my seat is low, I know this and have no intentions of raising it. After 20 years on a bmx bike I almost never sit down! |

Oh, and what happened to the front brake, Mr. BMX? It's a pleasure to ride, feels like a big bmx bike!

I had SE Draft once as a commuter, 2008 I think, the frame was actually made by Fuji. The ride was smooth, it was a steel frame, but it had lots of problems with wheels and drivetrain: cheap, weak parts. I ended up replacing pretty much everything on that bike, about $400 worth. Then I sold it as I never warmed up to the SS thing.

I'd put a brake up front, personally - the front gives you about 70% of your braking. |
My commuter is an old Bridgestone MB-1 frame/fork. 180mm XT cranks, 48/36 chainrings, Blackburn racks, SKS fenders.
