Speedvagen is still my favorite, as I have not been able to ride the Bastion. The weather has been so bad in Munich, that I don't feel like ruining my bike on its first outing.

Wheels are impressively build.....basically more modern versions than Lightweight....although the back wheel hub is not as free spinning as I had hoped. Something needs to be adjusted there.

Excellent!! Enjoy…. Those mudguards (fenders for Americans) are stunning.. but I hear he doesn’t want to make any more..

I didn’t go for mudguard mounts on mine… wonder if I’ll regret that over time… (or tom can retro fit)

Real eye candies here, thanks very much for sharing these amazing details. I've always been wondering where he hides the bolt for seat post clamp.

By the way, any chance you can reveal where you got those hydraulic hose foam sleeves?
