Time to finally show off my new commuter. I was initially considering either a steel-framed gravel or a folder, but a Black Friday deal made me want to try a belt drive with Nexus 8 IGH, despite alloy F&F. So far so good, very dependable, zero maintenance and with Conti Winter tyres only black ice was a problem throughout winter. Also very happy with a switch from rack and pannier to Wald basket, so much more functional. Longboards are also so much better than Bluemels on my previous one.
Looks great. Would mounting the front light underneath the basket be possible/necessary? I have found that basket contents can impede the beam and just reflect light back in your face!
