I'd consider moving the rear light a bit... Happy New Year!

Yes. Was testing it in daylight

Cargo bike is ready for paint.

Gonna be 🔥

That's a good pick, shiny finish I hope. Are you doing it yourself?

Yes shiny like that car ∆

I want to get into painting some day. But it is too much money/hassle/safety in my current situation.

I am getting it painted for free by a friend's father in law. Finish will be a bit rough like the curry cross bike, but that's ok for my own bikes.

I am looking into fancier/better paint options for friends/other people's bikes in the future.

Is this a hint that in the future, I'll be able to make a down payment for my Hulsroy all-road s&s-coupled mini-velo?

Main reason I am not doing this is the overheads.
It is currently not possible for me to do it as a hobby and have stock of materials, workshop + equipment and a good product insurance.

I need to feed my fam and working as a designer/architect/teacher is the safe route. Safety is demanded right now :)

That's a very reasonable priority!

I'm in no rush, but it would be nice to have a Hulsroy (that's more suited for my modest 180 cm) in the future, so even a potential maybe future Hulsroy frameworks sounds good!

Such an awesome bike! For some reason it kind of reminds me of a pedersen, I guess it must be the combination of the frame size, top tube slope, long headtube and slammed stem.

Ha. Most subtle burn ever.

It could also be the frame pump looking like an extra tube

More vintage shit for me to destroy

Ha! I can see why my comment seems like a subtle burn, the pedersen does look odd indeed. I still think your bike looks fabulous despite the perceived similarities.

Thanks :)
I know it doesn't look very conventional. But this is exactly why I got into framebuilding. I wanted bikes that suited by needs looking less shit than adapted off the peg stuff. That and cargo bikes.

Working on a stem for my GT Ruckus SSMTB.
I had some issues tracing the original logo onto new faceplate so will have to settle for a soldered on logo.

Is the logo going to be visible through powder coat? I wonder...

Nice Jig!

Neat! How does the clamp for the steerer work? Some sort of expanding wedge?

Like this.

Thanks. I had to use what I had laying around.
I'll do the steerer part more solid in the future

Done

Ahh, clever. Really tidy work with the stem, looking really good.

Thanks man. I am getting there.
