Hi Dave, and All,
My hetchins hellenic frame/fork is set up as a touring rig and has some sort of a lighting bracket on the fork blade - kind of a slotted arrangement, about 3.5" long along the length of the blade, protruding forward. Like Dave M's bike, mine has routing through the top tube for lighting wires, and custom rear rack with "dainty" loops to accommodate what I suspect to be wiring for the rack mounted tail light. There's also flat square seatstay brazeon, about the size of your fingernail, that protrudes rearward. It has a threaded hole and I suspect has something to do with the lighting.
Can anybody tell me how the lighting is configured on this bike? Can anybody recommend a source for appropriate lighting equipment? Regards, and thanks.
