Looking good! Think guards are possible with the current wheels?Looks quite tight like my bike.
Went on a 30 mile ride this morning through Epping and the bike performed well - downhill at 35mph it felt solid with no front wobble at all. Up hill was challenging, with just the front ring and the swept back bars felt more suited to casual city riding (which it does 90% of the time).

Yep it will fit just fit bluemels 35's but no brazeons unfortunately so have to use p-clips.
How is your single chainring? I've only dropped it once when I shifted up the whole cassette, otherwise its been fine. I'd forgotten what a pain friction shifting is in heavy traffic though, id really like a trigger shifter so may have to switch to Shimano /sram at some point. Maybe theres a jtek shiftmate that would workUp hill is definitely more of a challenge!

Inspired by @jambon 's awesome Walvale porteur and a long weekend in Toulouse on hire bikes I've just added a 1x9 groupset to my previous single speed with some VO Milano bars. I'm loving the new setup around town. Not as fast as with drops but but definitely fun and a lot more relaxed for pootling about. Could do with a few more additions including a rack and guards.
