pretty ugly but new I could make a decent hack and also put a pannier rack on for biking trips if needed even though it didn't have too long a wheelbase. Didn't go pannier route in the end but the option's there.

Went for sparkle silver and got the crank arms of my triple chainset the same colour.
Double / Triple Chainset to Single Conversion.
The Other thing I discovered on this build was how to convert a double or triple chainset to a single if you have to do so on a budget (and don’t want to just buy smaller bolts). If pennies are all you’ve got a spring washer from a hardware store will enable you to remove the second ring and secure the primary to the cranks safely. Chain line may or may not be an issue. For me it wasn’t. In the end however I couldn’t resist a bit of bling and went for a dura-ace 56t TT ring and with some FSA cranks of ebay. I think the build is better for it.
