The Zéfal headlights are rated at 3-watts each, the light they emit is impressive, you’ll be able to see the road ahead of you in detail for up to 30’ (~10-meters), and the rear lamps are equally as impressive. The headlights have three settings, blinky, low constant for group rides and high constant. These come in sets of one headlight and one taillight; an outstanding value for only $25-bucks!

What were the original wheels size wise? 100mm x ? I like the bullmoose stem w/apes. You really don't see many of these.
16X3 front and 20x4 ¼

However, the switch to a 24X2.10 front tire has improved cornering substantially by changing the fork rake angle and trail; the original’s steering angle was far too steep and its handlebar spread cumbersome to steer at speed.

This is now THE FINAL ITERATION of this bike - she is finished - finally!!! The new lights were what she needed. :)
