Montague Paratrooper Mountain Bike Transformation (Part 5 - more mods)

Still enjoying my Montague bike and it has evolved into a great city bike.  Over the past year I made a few more modifications some new and some repurposed from other bikes of ours....



Titanium U-type solid lock mount takes up the only bottle mount points so I picked up velco strap bottle holder.  Added fenders too.




Due to handlebar bag and crowded bars I added a little stub to the right fork which allowed me to install a LED headlight.



LED tail light is rechargeable (like the headlight) and attaches to the seat post.


Reprocessed an unused wireless speedometer from my wife's Bike Friday.  Fresh batteries and settings - good to go.  



MEC Randonneur handlebar bag clip in mount moved over from my Bike Friday.  This is a great bag with enough capacity to carry snacks, light jacket, wallet, phone, etc. and easily pops off and converts to a should bag.



Bag not usually this full!
