Hello from Coronel Dorrego, province of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic. Your channel helped me a lot. I am restoring two BSA bicycles. The ladies one is from 1927.
I remember having those back in the 60's and 70's , the ones I had you had to get up to a decent speed to get just enough light to ride with in pitch dark, and you could really feel the extra drag from the dynamo's. The rechargeable lights of today are about 50 times better , but that was the technology of the day , and they did the job.
The old ones created that much drag, they made it real hard to pedal. But they were better than the early battery lights, that lasted 5 mins, and the battery's were expensive to, back then.

We need more dynamo's
Just a random eastern german dynamo (pre fall of the berlin wall) on the black bike.
