I acquired a strange frame recently (650B Pedimoto Triple Triangle) which had a braze-on for a taillight on the back of the seat tube. I didn't have a dyno-hub wheel set for the bike, so I was on the hunt for a battery powered one. To my knowledge, the only one available is from Boulder Bicycle? I ordered one, but when it arrived I realized that it was threaded M6 frame was drilled and tapped for M5 - it seemed unwise to drill out and re-tap the frame, so I gave it to a friend. He remarked that it was funny that it matched the custom-made taillight on his Tournesol - slightly different housing but same electronics and lens. Looking through the paperwork that came with the Boulder Lamp it included instructions for the re-housed innards which are . . . a Road ID Supernova.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done this, or seen this lens on other custom lights? The Road ID is great on its on - bright, lasts long, clips onto anything, comes in a few colors if you're into that, and you can choose between always-on and blinky by flipping the battery orientation. Oh, and it's only 14.99 from your local amazon store : ) To be clear, i'm not knocking anyone. I think its a pretty ingenious find / starting point for a lamp project. Armed with this knowledge I simply bought the Road ID light, machined off the clip and turned my own housing on a lathe.

The whole thing only took about an hour and would be even easier and faster if it were designed to bolt onto one of the many hourglass shaped braze-ons which are plentiful on most Rivs these days.
