Actually got the stuck seatpost out today. So the parts found on Friday go unused except for the saddle rail clamp. I used a new 13/16" to 7/8" post using the seat post clamp to secure it. Also changed out the saddle to a modern Bontrager comfort style. That gives me some adjustment for seat height, doesn't look as cool, but makes for easier pedaling.

Working on LED light conversion in old crusty bullet light. The shell is perforated for ventilation.

I took apart a $1.00 flashlight, I used the battery pack and LED module. I added a toggle switch and some soldered wire connections. The reflector doesn't have a lens and the whole thing is temporary if my LBS will order the actual donor light that I was planning to use.

I put the light on today. I changed out the grips and saddle a few days back.
