Modified rear fender in the front & prolongued rear fender in the bottom bracket area:
DIY chainguide:
Fully internal wiring, mainly through the existing air holes:
-
does the pompino have specific internal wiring holes or are they just air holes that you took advantage of?
Just air holes and we drilled one entry-hole into the down tube (thrid pic in my initial post).

The internal wiring (is this the right word in English?):
An the first low budget setup as a fixed porteur:
Unfortunately the front rack had very negative effects on steering and I removed it immediately.

A cable cutter capable of cutting a reasonable lock will fuck a chain in seconds.
Agree! The wire is cheap, light and has no disadvantages - so why, not add a small plus of security?
if your leaving it in a place where your worried about getting a brooks nicked, are you not worried about your lights too?
sweet bike, i'd love to do something similar with my on-one but i need it to be as light as possible for the hills of rossendale.
The thing is, that the brooks is broken in. The lights are not that easy to secure and if someone steals them I can simply buy new ones.
I'm living and riding in Vienna/Austria. Theft is not is not such a big deal here, compared to London I guess. -
My every day beater with prolonged SKS fenders, internal wiring and a secured brooks saddle:
I used something that is called spring wire in German. That is a quite stiff wire. Formed a hook in each end, entered from both sides and tried to catch one end with the other end. Using the right tool it's easier than it seems.
The first time I tried it with a wire strand of a brake cable. That needed some patience ;-)
