I just built my Omnium with 32 / 11-28 (10 speed) and it seems fine for London. Traded off some low end for closer ratios because big jumps are quite unpleasant when carrying weight.
I would prob braze the bits for the FD though to keep options open. If I ever want to venture further afield I will have to add quite a lot of ugly things to enable +1 front cog.

I have acquired some components for the cargo bike. Originally I was hoping to use some X9 stuff but my one extra trigger broke and the rear mech was missing parts.
I am really uncertain whether I should braze on cable stops for the front mech or not. I am thinking I should be able to get up most things on tarmac loaded with 36T / 11-38T.
