There's more to be done but here's the bike built up. It rides beautifully!
It took a bit of work to fit the front mudguard, involving some drilling (in the end not necessary) and integrating the mount with the drop bolt. It's a bit fiddly having it all tied together but I shouldn't have to touch it much. Also replaced the axle nuts in the previous photos with some thin tube I found in a diy shop. I think the whole thing's sturdy because the bolts are so close together but I'll keep an eye and reinforce if necessary. I've never had proper mudguards before so I'm kind of looking forward to rain.
I'm giving the Dunwich Dynamo a go tonight. Exciting!
