I have been slowly putting my new Velo Orange Randoneur bike together over the past year. I have not been in a hurry to get it on the road because I have other good bicycles to ride and as a result I have not been motivated to get this one going. About a year ago I saw a picture somewhere on the net where a person had used a piece of a center pull brake to make a mount for a headlight that attached to the front rack on the bicycle. I liked this idea. I used one on the new bike using the backing plate from an old Dia Compe centerpull brake. Recently Bike Tinker had a post about such light mounts. You can read that post here:

Here is a picture of my setup attached to a Velo Orange front rack. I may move the light over to the left hand side of the rack.
Good looking mount! And I spy speedblends under there...
