I've got a Legolas, Quickbeam, and Hilborne. But I'm going to sell the
Hilborne to pay for the proto-Bombadil I'm picking up today. The Sam is an
orange, 60cm, single top tube with sidepull brakes if anyone is interested.
Does the proto-56 have the double top-tube?
I'd be excited, too, FWIW :)

I've not looked for one, but on my dad's old Nishiki roadbike from the
mid-70's, he had an odometer mounted down just above the fork's drop-out.
A little nub attached to the spoke, everytime it went around, it turned
over the 'gear' on the end of the box. No electronics, purely mechanical.
Don't know if this is the one he had or not, but very similar to it:
