I've seen them and like the fact they're not wearing your tyre out. I did wonder if slipping would be an issue, or if the drag was improved.

I am not sure. I read something about these a while ago and seem to remember they were less efficient than a Son hub dynamo. But a lot lighter as well.. They have a lot of info on their website. (obviously; they're German)

If I had to use a dynamo (I don't do enough night riding) It would be a hub dynamo for me.

Love those lugs! How on earth do they braze it without damaging the chrome?

Frame is plated after assembly.

So, it's all plated and then painted? Cunning. Why didn't I think of that? (no answer necessary).
