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!

I haven't ridden it with fully loaded basket at night yet, for visibility it's fine as is now. B&M makes a mount that can be attached to mudguard mount on the fork, but I think it would be even less visible there. I will see later how to solve it, maybe will look for another light with more convenient mounting.
Though my N+1 makes me think now about swapping it for a Brompton for both commuting and travelling that I do a lot.

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.
