Excellent job. Were you tempted to run the rear light out near the BB shell and up the inside of the mudguard?
hugo7-
Have thought about that actually.
I don't like the idea that the mudguard can't be taken off without affecting the wire itself - the wire would have to be glued or crimped to the inside of the mudguard. A quick release connector after leaving the shell- for instance Supernova QR Gold Connector Set - could remedy this. But I feel it could create a possible weak link. Now the wire is one piece. Much more reliable for sure, and I can unplug the wire from the rear light to remove the mudguard if I need to.

Update! Some work done.
Decided to use tektro straddle wire hangers instead of mafac.
Two coax wires: one from the hub dynamo to head light and one from head light to rear light. Together in wire mesh guard...
... tied to the front rack...
... each going its own direction at the inside of the fork blade.
Wire guided under fork crown, entering downtube with a grommet.
Wire leaving left chainstay ( also a grommet ), tied to mudguard stay...
... and into to the rear light.
Tektro cable hanger, modified to adjust cable length.
Decaleur for the front bag.
