Here are pictures of my light setup-
 

Old Bike-
- 2003 Mercier Corvus with 14000 miles ridden.
- Shimano 105 and Ultegra (slowly upgrading as parts wear out)
components
- Reynolds Ouzo Aero carbon forks.
- Triple Chainring (yes I do use all the gears, my knees
appreciate the extra low gears on steep hills)
- Mavic Open Pro Wheels with ultegra hubs
- Brooks B17 saddle (a little heavy but stays comfortable after 100
miles, just don't get them soaked!)
Accessories-
- Profile Design Airstryke Aero-Bars (like the foldup armrests.
I have these more for alleviating numb hands than speed)
- Frame Bag with Hydration bladder harness. (I needed a way to get the
load off my back so I designed a pannier that fits in the frame
triangle and can hold a 70 oz platypus bladder).
- Seat bag
- Extra tube (slime tube so it will self seal flats if I have one of
those days)
- All in one tool (includes chain tool)
- Patch kit with 10 patches and glue.
- Fenders (I like rain and fenders make riding in it a nice
experience.)
- Cateye el-500 1w LED light.
- Planet Bike Superspot 1w LED light (individually they don't have a
good enough beam for serious night riding outside town but together
they work great).
- two five LED taillight blinkies (one attached to the seatpost and
one hanging off the seatbag).
