'74 Herse. Not mine. Not by a longshot.



This Mariposa, however, is. krap photo, great bike.





Rideable, but it's still a major project. Needs a repaint in the worst way. Fenders, too. The front is inly a single, because I haven't been able to find a cheap BB with a long enough spindle for the Gipiemme cranks. Phil Wood, one of these years.

One of the coolest features of this bike is the intended generator / light setup. The second photo shows a braze-on for a QR switch for the generator. The generator is supposed to thread into the chainstay bridge. A cable would run up from the generator to the QR. The frame is also drilled to allow internal wiring, and there's a there's mount on the left fork leg. Tres Francais.
