I've really enjoyed this bike, especially for fully-loaded touring where it has been very stable, and for off road trips. It really is very comfy. However I find I use my MTB mostly when off road and the Vagabond is not really getting used to its potential, so I swapped the parts onto a Giant ToughRoad frame to try that out instead. This is a bit stiffer / steeper head tube angle and I prefer it for the riding I am doing, so I think the switch is permanent and the Vagabond is up for sale.
blue Hope headset, spacers and seatclamp (goes well, if loudly, with the orange paint)
QR front and back
straight steerer, still quite long - 260mm
threaded BB
BB threads in good condition - BB came out fine when disassembling
IS disk mounts. Includes 2 x post mount adapters for 160mm rotors
Problem Solvers Fender Flute for front mudguard
Bottom bracket cable guide
2 x downtube barrel adjusters for gear cables
Drain hole in chain stay brace behind bottom bracket drilled out to take M5 bolt for mudguards
No bolts in any of the various mounting points
Paint quite chipped
Asking £250 with all the above (frame, forks, headset, seatclamp, 2 x PM adapters, flute), also including PayPal fees and posting with Parcelforce 48 (UK mainland).
However happy to split. I still have the original unused Genesis headset which I can include with the frame if helpful instead of the Hope. I don't have an alternative seatclamp.
If the lack of bolts is an issue then I can put together a motley set, let me know. Mostly keen to point out the original bolts that came with the frame have got merged into the general stash and are no longer with the frame.
Pic when built attached. I am going to clean it up this afternoon and add more pics of the F&F, partic the paint chips.
I live near Manchester so will have to post unless you are nearby. I've got the box the ToughRoad came in to wrap it up in.
Also got some spare parts from the old build -
On-One Midge bars - £17 including postage and PayPal fees SOLD
FC-M622 2x10 crankset with unusual 96mm BCD and missing bolts, currently with SunRace 36T steel NW ring - £20 including postage and PayPal fees SOLD
Alivio M447 hydraulic flat bar brakeset - £30 including postage and PayPal fees SOLD

For general Vagabond inspiration, Popdown's thread is worth a read - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/321558/
