Cranky
Been tinkering a bit recently, now has Velo Orange mudguards, Surly Disc Trucker fork & Hy Rd at the front. Backed down from plans to go dynamo on cost and not-really-needing-it grounds.
Cowbells and Sturmey 3 speed hub are staying, both have been excellent over the last year, and make it a lot more functional - did a 3 day mini tour with a fair bit of off road in the Mendips & Dartmoor that I would never have managed single speed.
Next up is a front rack / basket of some sort. Fork has all the eyelets so anything should be possible - keen for something that doesn't weigh 2 kilos tho as is this already a beast.
Something like the Rawlands Demi-porteur or smaller Pelago commuter look good, wondering whether having a basket / rail round the edge would be a lot more practical though...
Will take a less ugly pic soon now it's rideable again
