Absolutely love the look of this, but I'm not sure I would have gone with the triple and bar end shifters.

Thats really cool, but isnt it also a risky way of carrying such delicate optics? Im always a little nervous about carrying my mirrorless camera in my wald basket up front, although its been good so far.

I like the Mezcals a lot. I mainly ride forest roads, gravel roads, double track country roads and stuff like that with this bike, so no technical trails, and I find them perfect for that. Doesn’t feel too slow and has plenty of grip on the occasional steep sections. Haven’t had a puncture yet either, and I guess I have somewhere between 500 and 1000 km on them so far.
@MisterMikkel thanks, those are great! That last one was a big inspiration for my frame bag for my Omnium.

My Sutra LTD before things got muddy. Love this bike. I'm planning on sewing some more bags for it, so I can remove the front rack, and tighten up the handling a bit. At least a frame bag, but maybe also a small Carradice style sadle bag, or a bar roll.

I keep getting the 413 request entity too large error when trying to post more images.

My wife and I had a son back in March, and I have always dreamt about riding an Omnium or Bullitt with my kids when that time would come. I went to test ride an Omnium at the local dealer Knuds Kiosk in Aarhus, and was imediately hooked, so I ordered a frameset and parts from Germany.
Life with a kid doesnt leave much time to work on bikes, so this is by far the slowest build I've ever done, but I'm very happy with the result.
I strapped our child seat from the car to the rack, and went on a ride with my son the other day, and it was a huge success.
Ironically, the only thing this cargo bike is missing at the moment is something to carry a water bottle, jacket, camera and snacks when we're riding, since the car seat takes up all of the rack. Maybe a home made frame bag is the next project. -
Oh thats very nice! I would love to see how you did the cable routing around the rear brake, my wife has a very similar Panasonic mixte, and I've been strugling a bit with that part since switching from cantis to v-brakes.
Made a framebag for my Kona from 500d Cordura and Challenge Ecopak epx200. The brilliant 1L side loader cages from @Hulsroy increases the available space inside the main triangle, and by moving them a bit with two adapters, I was able to get to a point where I felt a framebag would be possible. I'm very happy with the result.
