Thanks for fixing that!

Very nice job, well done!

I have a Giant Excursion with factory installed bottom bracket generator. It is controlled by a lever on the back of the seat tube where you can reach it while riding. Mine happens to be a Union generator. It does well in all but the worst of weather. The wiring is interesting in that they utilized the aluminum strips in the fenders as conductors and mounted snaps to them, the wire has a snap on the end that attaches to the fender, then the wire goes to the light.

Have to get some pictures of the set up. I had one other bike with a similar wiring system, that one was a German Staiger Florida.
