I cobbled all this stuff together from parts I had laying around my house, so there are bits and pieces from everywhere.

The struts (100mm and 75mm) came from the Hostel Shoppe. It's called a TerraCycle Accessory Mount. http://www.hostelshoppe.com/cgi-bin/readitem.pl?Accessory=1165594587

The bar came from Longbikes. It was out of something they call a Computer Mount. It was useful because it contained an embedded nut that allowed me to attach both struts to the bar with just a screw. You may not want to use this part, as the Longbikes Computer Mount is a little pricey ($49). I used it only because I already had it. http://www.longbikes.com/2/Parts/index.html

You could substitute with a part from Calhoun Cycles called an EVO Extension (35mm). It costs about $8. You would have to add a nut and maybe a washer on the end. http://www.calhouncycle.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=51&idca...

The little white thing between the bike frame and the 100mm strut is a 0.25" nylon spacer. I got it at Lowe's. You could assemble without this, but things line up better with it installed.

Screws are #10-24's of either 1" or 0.75" long. M5's would also work if you prefer metric. Nuts are all nylocked.

Thanks.

I have got a Gino from Pauls components that probably would fit Thanks for the info. The key was figuring out a way to get clear of the quick release assembly area. Thought about using a problem solver on the quick release but this is better.

When the frame gets here and I can look at it and measure I was considering using problem solvers brake stub adapter. They are suppose to be used on cantilever brakes; but with he Silvio brake being mounted in a place that gives easy access to the back side bolt; it look like one of these might fit on that bolt; and give you a nice mount point behind the seat, not on the seat and up high.

hub gen light

I have a little different setup with a hub generator and the SuperNova E3 Pro

I have the mount attached to one side the fairing bracket, it sits up a bit higher, but I like the better angle of the light.

If you want to be able to reach your light while you are riding, and take it on/off in a few seconds, check this thread.
