The headlight mount is a bit unusual. I used the "custom lowrider" mount on the touring frame to mount an old Soubitez headlamp, using a cut-down hub quick release skewer. It uses an old broken axle as a sspacer. This makes a very secure headlight mount but permits vertical aiming of the lamp. The headlight has a yellow French bulb just for the hell of it.The generator is a Swiss "Lightspin" unit, amazingly easy running. I can hardly tell when it is engaged, though it doesn't put out as much light at low speeds as the Shimano Nexus generator hubs I've got on a couple of my other bikes.
When the light setup was on the Cannondale, I had the generator mounted on the seat stay, but when I transferred the parts, I didn't feel like re-wiring the lights, so I just moved it to the fork. That's why there's so much excess wire wrapped around the mount. Someday I'll shorten it...
