I had a dynohub like that in my Hercules as a teenager. I could never get the headlight to achieve anything better than a weak orangey glow. Tried all sorts of bulbs with different ratings

Remember the 'Polish Panto Butcher? That would be my go. I just wouldn't have the patience to finesse

In the same way I can't resist Cadburys chocolate?

The price is not my business, but remember it's a buyer's market so haggle hard if you want it. He'll have a bigger job selling than you have buying

I'm 1m80 and ride bikes 54 to 56 cm with a 130 stem.

The Hitachi Splendor pro team of the 80s hailed from belgium, so that could be the start for a search

I might have some. So you want me to check when I'm home later? I know for definite I have a Mavic

Wasted for zwifting

Thought your bikes were a bit bigger than that one

The 3 speed Hercules I had as a teenager had plenty of standover height. Didn't stop the nads taking a battering when it slipped into neutral

You nearly lost me with 'fixie', that hipster word for a fixed wheel bike. But I stuck with it . You may be correct, but the 'fixie' user is a fairly minority cyclist. Most of the reviewers and folk who feel overlap is a consideration ride geared bikes
