i think this is what i have on my grungy winter bike, the cassette is a million times better than the shite non-shimano stuff at the same price.

Recently built a couple of bikes with 1x9 and 1x10 CUES, really great shifting under pressure. 10s would be my choice personally. All the range you need and lots of cassette options, plus the claimed durability improvements are a big bonus on a bike that does lots of miles.
It stands for Creating Unique ExperienceS, which is … interesting.
Looking forward to seeing the build. Love a clandestine, used to be made local to me so I’ve seen a couple in the flesh. Great looking bikes and very well made.

since they got rid of the vegetable misters.
At first glance, my tired dadbrain thought that a vegetable mister was some sort of Linda McCartney arch nemesis. They got rid of the misters a decade ago I'm sure!
I plan to replace the Big Dummy's stock SRAM triple with a 1x9 Cues at some point (11-46t). I have NEVER used the outer ring on that bike. Cues makes a ton of sense for the Carrier too but, alas, I've already specced a Deore M5100 derailer and Microshift thumbie for it.
@Tijmen dig that combo, and RAL5014 is a great match for Bluebell. Your panniers will be the finishing touch. Slate grey ought to be a nice light "filler" and tie the other light hues (grips, saddle, silver bits) together.

I haven't forgiven Morrisons since they got rid of the vegetable misters. Otherwise perfect.
If you can find it, I really, really rate Shimano's new Cues stuff for crunchy heavy riding. It's been spectacular on the tandem, and I was really impressed when I used it on a pal's bike.
It's not compatible with existing Shimano 11- or 12-speed shifters but it would be my pick if I were building a utilitarian bike.
