That looks like a mighty fine dadbike - even if #26isdad.
I'd recommend a flap on the top of the front mudguard to avoid soaking the bottom of the bag. I still haven't fitted one to mine, and it's been soaked thrice in a week..
MisterMikkel-
This is functional bike wisdom. Alternatively a sheet of plastic fitted to the underside of the rack achieves the same spray protection

Cheers. I had a bit of an old flap for that purpose zip tied to the pizza rack before but think i binned it, will probably do the same again at some point. Also need a flap for the back.
I’ve ridden the tank to work every day this week, lad I ride home with is on an ebike which is a bit painful but I’m trying to build some fitness back up so I think it’s actually helping that.

Fitted guards to the all shitty after getting dogshit on me on way to work yesterday. Had been looking for some fancier guards but not much about in the right width apart from sim works which are outrageously expensive.
Goal was ultimate dad bike, nursery runs, mixed surface commuting, maybe occasional gravel rides with the racks and guards off.
Had the Carradice already but I’m used to the Super C (didn’t want to take the bagman off it as use it on 2 other bikes) but really don’t like the straps on the Nelson or whatever this is. So fiddly compared to the super C. I remember now why i stopped using this one.
