Name the mystery part
Just saw this on a Spain MTB site's gallery -- photo labeled "patent applied for". Had me puzzled at first glance until I enlarged it and saw what it was...

Yeah, I go with the broken pivot, replaced by a random bolt from a toolbox and whatever they could find for spacers. In the original small photo, the pulleys looked like gears and it really had me wondering. Plus I remembered seeing all kinds of weird Spanish bicycle stuff once. I'll have to look for that again...anyhow, thanks for playing!

Maybe the caballeros use it to clean their spurs of mud?

It looks like a broken deraillueur hanger and some derailleur wheel thingies screwed to the side of a frame.
But in my dream mtb world you loosen the allen bolt a bit and swing the derailleur hanger around it locks onto another bolt and makes the full suspension into a makeshift hardtail... |
