Mystery bolts on seat stay?
One of the bikes being serviced at the co-op is a Breezer/Nu-vinci. There are two braze-ons for 5mm bolts, about 10-15 mm apart, on the INSIDE of the NDS seat stay. They are about 15 mm below the brake boss. Why?
My first thought was cafe lock but there is already one between the seat tube and seat stays. Bottle generator?
Thanks.

Of course that does not matter if they make the frames all the same
and what gets attached to the fittings is what changes wit model parts pick list..

Probably a dyno mount - there are some pictures here with the dyno setup, can't seem to link directly to the individual pictures.

Perhaps to mount the "nurse lock" as seen in the picture?

Except you can see both the lock and the unused braze-ons.
Of course -some models get dyno hubs, some get bottle generators, some get neither - all use the same frame.

Maybe they fit a different Lock when shipping the Bikes to Denmark ..
it's Sunday good time to ask questions the company brands Supplier will probably know.
Back to Blind Guessing.. Enjoy ..
If its got an IGH it does not need a derailleur hanger either But it's obviously there ..

@Rubato, I'm guessing they are for a bottle generator mount. I couldn't find a link I was looking for that IIRC showed one, but ran across this which, while showing the mount vaguely has some neat eye candy.
Frame modifications and refurbis ? Norther cycles

My first instinct is to figure things out for myself. It's been several days and I'm no smarter so I broke down, took your suggestion, and wrote Breezer. Stay tuned.
