The cheap sets I've seen come with those pointy things.

Heh. I was just remembering when some cars had blue taillights.

Anyhow, I think I saw that LED thing Guy was talking about, in
the Peter White site.

In my previous post when I said 'chainstay' I meant 'seatstay'.

I rather like having the taillight on the fender.

cheers,
Tom

If it were me, I'd go into the oldest bike shops in the area and ask.

I have one of these in my heap of possibly useful bike parts.
It's off an old Schwinn-approved set and works. No generator,
just the light. I took it off because instead of 2.4 front and
0.6 rear, I preferred 3.0 front and a standard blinkie in the
rear.

If the O.P. emails me at mikekr at aol dot com and agrees to
pay postage, it's his/hers.

In a survey taken several years ago, all incoming freshman at
MIT were asked if
they expected to graduate in the top half of their class.
Ninety-seven percent
responded that they did.
