How do you route the front light?

front light is mounted to the rack. Nitto makes a light mount that fits most dynamo headlights.

Genius! Agree with the bell placement comment. Nice to see a Gilles Berthoud out there. Your wheels sound pretty serious too! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

Everything about this is awesome but the bell placement in particular is my favourite

Awesome. I love the practicality of the build, I'm sure it's a fun ride.

I meant the cable routing for the front light. Because I usually see lights where the cable is wrapped around the fork blade. But yours is hidden

Ah ok. I used helicopter tape on the inside of the fork leg for the Dynamo wire. The rear light is wired to the front light. Its wire runs through the rolled edge of the rear fender, under the bb and downtube and then through the front fender before terminating at the front light.
