Whatever it is that's going on with that seat tube shifter, I love it. Google Translate isn't quite up to the task, what does it do?

It engages the dynamo on the chain stays. Not unusual.

what does it do?

Wheel dynamo would be my guess.

You cant spot it right under the cranks. Also loving that crankset.

Edit: Too slow..

I think it might be to engage and disengage the dynamo on the rear wheel just behind the bottom bracket.

Also too slow!

It says it has a 'banddynamo', which means 'tyre dynamo' - in this context I think this is a Soubitez-type one that runs on the tyre behind the BB? I can just make out a black cylinder behind the chainring at about 8 o'clock that looks like one - my guess would be the lever's to move it off and on?

Edit - also too slow!

Double edit - looks like a bargain at €850, and might even fit me; probably for the best I can't afford it...
