What is this bracket?

[Twilkes]

I found this in my bits box but have no idea what it came with or what it's for - any ideas?

How wide‘s the curly bit? Would it be half of a clamp fitting that might wrap around a seat stay to attach something?

 

[ColinJ]

I reckon to secure the front end of a rear mudguard to the bridge between the chainstays?

its part of a lamp bracket, I'm sure I've got one similar in my bits box somewhere.

Ah okay, there is a similar flat bracket of the same length that maybe works as a pair, so wrapping around a small tube makes sense. Possibly for a mudguard on a bike that has no rear mudguard bracket, I've vaguely read about adapters like that. I've bought N+1 mudguards over the years so could have come with one of those.

As long as it's not a Death Negator or anything like that.

Ha, I just fitted a set yesterday but bought the fixing kit ages ago. They're solid so obviously didn't need the bracket for this bike.

Looks like part of a curtain rail fixing.

If you don't name the brand it doesn't count.

That's the lateral stabiliser for the flux capacitor. Without it, you could create a black hole and destroy the solar system.

It’s a coat hook for your bike. When it gets too hot, hang your jacket on it, and keep riding.

This is the bit I discard from SKS rear mudguards, and instead, fix them to the chainstay bridge with a bolt or a ziptie.

chainstay bridge. Many modern frames don't have one, and guards bolt to the back of the bottom bracket.
