No I'm using it :)
I got tired of wet feet so I put it on for winter commuting.I've made some progress with the rear brake, and I'm close to a testing prototype for further fiddling:
The plan is to use it with a rear hub modded to something like 112mm x 10mm thru axle "standard". The thru axle goes through the hole to the right and the left side is fastened to the chainstay via the black clampCombined with sliding brackets on the inside of both the track-ends that convert them to thru axle dropouts. A bit like 12mmx142mm mtb dropouts work but in a sliding version:

That's some M.C. Escher welding, I can't understand the perspective.

So I can buy it in the spring then...? :) Guess I'll have to settle for paying full price.
Brake mod looking good, that all fits on the inside of the track ends within the sliding brackets, or have I got that wrong? And assume the horizontal strip to mount the caliper is in steel yeah? And then the chainstay clamp allows it all to slide to get chain tension? I like!

Excellent work. What's the third small part in the middle photo in the bottom left corner? Also where did you get what looks like a CAD drawing of a wheel with rotor on, on which your components are drawn?
I'm not sure my hubs could easily loose 4 mm from each side without seriously attacking the lockouts. It's a shame as I quite fancy a disc version. Especially after seeing this post.
Can't wait to see the end result.

@svendhöek Only just caught up with this - can't believe the Pompet died! New bike looks good though, looking forward to seeing rear brake mod.
What happened to the disc trucker fork - ie is it for sale??
Cheers
