    Headlight and lighting issues help needed!!

    For your bike, I like the motor cycle light in the first post. It is exactly what I was thinking of while looking at your bike. You can make a battery box that goes somewhere on your bike for a 12 volt gel cell battery that you recharge.

The first Ritchey Mountain bikes came with MAFAKs. The MAFAK was the best brake, in my opinion, until Charlie...

    V Brakes posts for a Klunker

    I did lots of Klunker conversions for people in the 70s and 80s. I would braze cantilever studs on the frame, with a little heat, they are easy to remove.
