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--sturd
Things do get lost. I once had a seller transpose 2 numbers of my zip
code on an item sent to me. It took about a month and a half but it
finally arrived. Your pump may still arrive.
Another time I had my brother mail some jewelry that I sold on ebay.
He happened to put the priority stick right
Huh? Addressed to me?

If it never shows up then I either messed up the address and someone
else got it (which I don't think happened) OR the post office messed
up in some fashion.
In all my years of selling and trading I have yet to have the PO lose
something on me but I guess there is a first time for everything.

For a frame that takes a 1" threaded fork, yes the frame could take
either. For example, Rivendell's new Roadeo frame can take either a
