Subject: [CR]Hirose on Japan bay - questions remain

All this discussion about the Hirose has been enlightening, HOWEVER, my original query has gone unanswered. Again:

that bike is da bomb. e-RICHIE chester, ct

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! Talk about details! Some questions for you cognoscente:

What is the black thing attached to the drive side chainstay?

What the heck kind of rear shifter and derailleur is that, with wires and springs? What a contraption. I mean that in a cool way.

How about that front der? What make is it?

Are those fender mounted lights available these days?

Thanks.
