Hi, Earl--it's good to know that I'm not the only person who considered the "bottle generator on the fork braze on" approach!
Eventually, I went with the bracket that Peter White sells through his site (the "dynamohalter" ... love that word!), and found it to be perfect for the application--sturdy and unobtrusive, if a bit damaging to the rear stay. Here's a picture of my set-up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58462...@n00/3885380916/ Since I added the ABUS lock, I've redone the wiring a bit to make it cleaner looking, but it's a good setup! (Oh, and the lights work great, too!)
