It’s my general runabout / winter bike / commuter when I am not on the Brompton.
Frame is an older Surly Disc Trucker, with a more recent through-axle fork. GRX 1x11, Portland Design guards, which have since had longer mudflaps added, and the Gravel Kings have been replaced by Pirelli Cinturatos, tubeless. SON dynamo. Borg wheelset.
It’s a great bike but I’ll admit to keeping an eye on the sales forum with a view to putting the whole lot on a lighter frame and fork.
Saddle is now horizontal and bars a tad lower - this was shortly after I put it together.

I used mine in a different sort of set up to yours, no rack. Ran wire up the back of the seat tube and used the hose to protect it thinking I might not always have mudguards on. On the down tube I heat shrunk the wire itself along the brake hose. The hose is fairly flexible and would work well clipped inside a mudguard.
