mystery bolt-on.
anyone recognize the apparatus to the rear of the BB where a kickstand would normally mount? appears a wire leading to the area with a ziptie holding it to the downtube possibly.maybe a generator feeding off the rear tire?

Yes, a bottom bracket mounted dynamo. Soubitez made one, Sanyo made a similar one. I like them better than the sidewall-driven bottle dynamos. No chance of them coming loose and landing in the spokes, either.

I was just talking about Assenmacher frames a couple of weeks ago…they’re the only reason I know where Swartz Creek is! Well, not the only, as I did route Indian Trials buses for awhile, but the first reason!
