Thank you! @Josh too!
Cost mostly, didn't have a big budget for a the project and wanted to make use of the rim brake Xtr rear wheel I'd got. Rear brake feels a lot better than the front ironically, I'd forgotten Spyres are road pull calipers, need to add a Spyke/BB7 to the list of things to sort.
Tiny job, but the rubber grommets arrived. Fitted to the rear guard cable hole to stop water sneaking through.
I'm wondering whether I'd be able to cut down the Hope skewer and use a die to re-thread it further down, to use as a seat clamp. Unsure whether a die will cut threads into a hardened (I'm assuming) steel skewer though, thoughts anyone?

Ironically I extended the thread on a pair of those skewers that I run on my Airbourne. It is on the back of a road bike with thin dropouts and they were designed as a MTB skewer. The thread didn't go far enough along and
was bottoming out where the thread stopped so I extended it and chopped off the excess.

Uuuh, it's turned out really well! Love the yellow colour and dynamo routing.
What's reasoning behind keeping the rear v-brake instead of adding a disc tab?
