Thanks Michael for those nice words about my bike. The light attachment came with the light. It did have a longer bolt - long enough to go thru the front fork if you wanted to mount it that way. I just replaced the long bolt with a shorter one, and attached it directly to the front rack.
Michael, I'm not sure of the rational for the double tube, but it does make for a bike with a distinctive look. The "heavy" look doesn't concern me. To be truthful, it rides much like my Atlantis, and to date my Atlantis and Wilbury have been my favorite bikes to ride. Yeah, I know Mac is retiring the "homepage" web sites, but I still like to use them (I think I have till July 7). I'm not too good at reading instructions, so I haven't used the galleries that much. I'm sure I'll get better at using them after they retire the homepage system. Thanks again Michael. See ya.
