Although you have a lot of stuff going on here, this bike looks really purposeful, unique and ready for a million miles

Can't remember who but on the mudguards thread I heard about the gap between mudguard and tire being greater at point of entry than of exit, and honestly that's life-changing advice. Your mudguard line seems about right!!

This is now approaching its final form, and feeling much better with new drivetrain, hoses & cables. Tubeless installed - a first for me - and it does immediately feel extremely supple, which is nice, albeit I'm not sure yet how well it's holding air, obvs a must on an everyday utility bike.
But by far the biggest improvement is, for the first time, mudguards that don't rattle on every bump, which had been really upsetting my zen. I can now see I haven't got the curve quite right yet, mind
Last thing on the wish list is a Brooks B17, always fancied trying one and this feels like the right bike for it
