Hey folks!
I picked up this mystery bike back in 2004 from an antique store the ex worked at. I couldn't find anything out about it back then and I recently started to mess around with it again.
Most I can make out it, it is german built, if the stamp on the bottom bracket is anything to go by, it's from 1964.
The wiring for the Gen set is actually passed through the body tubes.
The original tires were all white, it was a shame to strip them, but they were completely dry rotted. They are 28x1.25 rims
The drive wheel has a 3 speed sachs torpedo hub. I've finally hunted down a source for new axle bolts but I'm still unsure if it's a 3/8 or a 10.5 axle.
The tubes say "Holland look" other than that, I can't make out any other emblems. One of them is a picture of a crown.

Here are some pics. I'm not so much worried about the value as I am about where it came from as I can't find much of any info on it and was hoping somebody out there with more knowledge knows something about it.

hey man,

the axle/nuts are 10,5.

holland look bikes are cheaper fakes of gazelle bikes.
in complete good condition they are worth around 100€.

the sticker is from a red cross ambulance.

Thank you very much for the extra info!
I found a gentleman in the PNW that has 10.5x 26tpi nuts, he also said that they could be 3/8 as well and that is what my calipers told me so I ordered a 3/8 x26 tpi from amazon. If that doesn't work I'll be going the new old stock route.
