Went to a swap in the Denver area last Saturday & found a couple of parts that will be handy one day. Stumbled onto a 2002 Cannondale CAAD5 road bike that is a better fit than my current bike. It's also lighter.

I swapped over the pedals, seat & bottle cages from my old bike & changed the bar tape to match the seat. Being a Veteran that loves my country, I had to have it! Can't wait to get some saddle time & upgrade a few parts. I have a feeling this one will be with me a loooooooong time. :)
 
Not a DELTA but i've come to really like these Hawthorne badged lights.
I'm not sure if they were also made in a self contained battery model {i haven't seen one}
but they're easily converted. I just remove the screw for the generator wire and instal a switch and a 9 volt battery connector and change the bulbs to 9 volt LED

A twofer today, first a big thanks to Scott @ivrjhnsn for this great block chain. A great addition to my '08 Hoag. Secondly, they say that necessity is the mother of invention. I've found it just about impossible to find a decent 36 volt battery to power up this bad boy, so I'm making my own. A month ago I wouldn't have thought it possible. Amazon had a bunch for sale but after paying for a couple they came back, out of stock. Also when they don't exactly tell you the brand of 18650 batteries are in it, they are most probably cheap Chinese ones. The good ones, Samsung, Panasonic, & LG are Korean or Taiwanese. So, for roughly half the cost of a quality pack (which isn't available anyway) I have all the components to make my own. Everything is on the table, 40 cells, BMS, 10 ft. nickel strip, welder, hot glue gun, working outside on this one. Missing is my voltage meter, soldering iron, and my pickup truck battery, to power up my mini spot welder. Photo of what it'll hopefully end up looking like, if all goes well.
