Sks has a kit to drive the cable along the mudguard

Old SKS even had one or two stripes embedded in the mudguard to carry the light connections.

I love the contrast between elegant white wall wood floor bicycle room, with a professional tool furniture, and the woodscrew into the Yahoo mount...

Not my construction but I find it interesting, so put it here for inspiration.

for the record, in Dura Ace: SM-ST74 / Y67D98020

Yes, and no connection with the original Italian company beside just purchasing the name.

This said I have an original Italian one that came with an old bike. Beside that it is amazing that it still works, it is just a plain pump!

Silca has now copied also the original Hirame pump head, which I would highly recommend!

Less than GBP 40 in Japan, around double imported...

Logic was wrong form the beginning: energy that you recover from the spring has to be wasted compressing it. Zero sum game!

Möwe had the CyFly Crank:

you also need to be into oversize things:

I get it that for some people it is function over form, but I assume if someone is on this forum, he or she has some sort of love for his or her bike!

Luxos was also aesthetically way too big, like ridiculously big.

here compared to a Cyo

Son edelux and supernova also have (strict) upside down versions. But IQ-X is half the price and can be reverted to normal mounting.

Alternatively in the previous pages there are examples with back of the crown mounting, or below the crown attachments.

yes!

• low/high beam with 120 lux
  
• sleek SON design / good form factor
  
• easy to install (no box/battery to install somewhere)
  
• embedded battery and powerful enough for recent mobile phones (1.5A)
  
  

Almost too good to be true, no one pulled it out yet!

If it comes at less than 250€ it is a winner...

SON is coming with a light/charger combo:

But some time in 2024...

IQ-X can be rotated in its collar, hence can be installed upside down which is a convenient feature if you want to install it on the handlebar.

example found on the web:

Which are just a rebranded version of the very same hub (daytona 2001/centaur 2002).

Beside some finishing touches:

• adjusting sleeve plastic vs metal for chorus/record
  
• freewheel attachment bolt in steel vs stainless steel for chorus/record
  
• simplified spline contruction design for daytona/centaur
  
• oil hole for record
  ... record/chorus/daytona/centaur hubs where identical from 2000 to 2006, hence same performance.
  
  

Xenon/Mirage were identical with a very basic design with industrial bearings rather than cones.

Yes, I contacted two frame builder and they are happy to brazed it.
One local, the other one I have to send it. Unfortunately my local guy caught Covid last week end!
Local is: http://www.maferro.de/ (I am based in Munich)
The other one is Gesta Stammel on Köln (told me 20 euro for brazing/primer!!!!)
But waiting for the local guy offering as obviously dismantling/shipping/rebuilding is painful!
Might ask also for the bent saddle bolt hole.

Will check tomorrow in two shops that are able to weld... or I will have to find a new frame...

Another view

Broke the frame, and I was wondering if it is fixable (by a pro!).

Any frame builder opinion?

If you want to try without breaking the bank: Spanninga Nomad light 40 lux with USB port (in the list provided).

From experience, though the frame looks clean, it still needs to be degreased thoroughly for anything to glue on it.

clever stuff! Never heard about it before! Thanks!

But condor from late 50's, beginning 60's were also having nervex and similar (but different) fork crown...

https://www.isambards.co.uk/product-details/20112521520001yss1

It seems that they help identifying originals: http://www.hetchins.org/100.htm

http://www.hetchins.org/bogus-08.htm "While a few Hetchins are known with Nervex lugs, they are very few in number."

Forks is using a twin plate lug which does not seems to be nervex, but that is ok, it was common to use another brand for the fork crown.

Those are Nervex lugs if it can help for your search...

12v are for e-bikes.

b+m IQ-X or SON edelux II are in the same price range and quality. b+m IQ-XS offers a very similar experience at half the price.

Supernova rear light only has stand light in combination of Supernova front light, while b+m or SON have their own battery and are independent from the front light.

Same experience, Marathon plus should ideally be reserved when you have no other choice. Though I have 35mm tyres, and on wider tyres, it might not be as bad. But would have no problem going back to it if I had a puncture every two month.
