Yup, you're correct - the Free rad mounts to almost any 26" bicycle -
they also have a version for 700c. I have a 2006 Kona Smoke commuter
bike, and my boyfriend, Steve, has his mounted on a an Electra Townie 21.
kit comes complete with a long chain, and a long brake cable for your
rear brake. It usually takes a LBS about 1-2 hours to install. If
you're pretty bicycle savvy - you could probably install yourself.
the Free Rad frame itself only adds 5lbs to your bike.
So theres no mod to your bike, if you wanted to take it off & put it
on a different bike - it can come off & the old bike will be back to
'normal'.
Ya the DLG is my favorite, it makes you feel a whole lot safer! but
it's also really cool to ride on a cloud of light, makes night riding
fun & not scary
