Hello,

a) On mounting, I'm pretty proud of this liberal use of p-clamps:

I'd add the guy who invented P-clamps to the list of I-sure-hope-he-
didn't-die-broke.

b) Neither. I tape it to the side, about 4 o'clock.

c) Small front rack, but not for the light, that'd be stupid. I'm now
running with a Sackville medium up front, which I love. I really have
to get an updated photo of the bike with it. I suppose I should admit
to some qualifications. One, it's about 2-3 inches too tall for my
handlebars. Two, the trail on this bike, at about 55mm IIRC, is a bit
at the upper envelop for front loading IMO. But it looks sooo good.
What do they say, if you look good then you will feel good. ;-) Or
something like that.

 Unscientific poll:

 a. Rear light mounted to fender -- how many of you have mounted one to a 
 (gasp!) plastic fender and how long did it last there before getting beaten 
 up beyond repair?

 b. Wiring: for those kids not cool enough to have it routed internally, do 
 you like it mounted on top or underside of tubing?

 c. Front light mounting: How many of you don't normally use a small front 
 rack but specifically installed one to protect the headlight? And how many of 
 you just went with a fork crown mount sans rack?

 Just curious, playing around with some set-up ideas.
 Thanks --Beth

a) I mounted mine to the large Wald basket.
b) underside - taped
c) fork crown mount

I removed a VO Constructeur rack as it doesn't have a front mount bracket.   
This setup is on my Riv'd Miyata MTB winter commuter.
