I don't know where you read that bottle dynamos shouldn't be mounted on the fork blades. That's where they go--my English-made Pashley came with braze-on mounts for a bottle dynamo mount on the lefthand fork leg. When you mount them on the forks, it's easy to turn it on and off without dismounting.
