What I did some years ago was I used a GH6 for the front light and an AG for the rear. That made the rear light nice and bright, and the front was still bright enough for commuting in the dark. No, it wasn´t

legal, but nobody ever cared.

Some cyclists asked me why my bike had four brakes, noticing the calipers and wrongly identifying the two Dynohubs as drum brakes which

are still popular over here on Dutch roadsters. I then mumbled something like one couldn´t be too careful.

Just in case Dale starts getting worried here: I used a 1986 Revell Romany 531/Haden lug frame.
