Nice build there. A fastish commuter with carry space! Are you thinking of using it pretty much as is for touring then? Also your blog suggests you live near me. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Thanks! I sold a single speed and a hybrid and built this as a commuter that'll also get me to the shops and back with stuff. The 3 speed Sturmey seems dead on in terms of gear inches. Very happy with it. Have a couple of road bikes as well, and this is a very different ride, and none the worse for it. I'd LOVE to do a tour someday. Maybe coast to coast or something, nothing TOO hilly though...
