Is this good or bad

That's really good. I agree that a street map layer might be nice.

Epic tour too.

Really cool bike. Much better than mine.

If homeopathy was real you'd get more pissed off of low-alcohol beer.

In a browser, try the strava-helper add-on. In the phone app, no as far as I can tell.

I have found low profile cantis to be much better than wide ones. Either way they need careful adjustment.

I like it. But I wonder if it's pushing the boundaries of modern and old, giving middle-aged groupset on middle-aged frame. Still the best-looking cranks Shimano have made for decades.

Depends what you like. Personally I might be tempted to go up the Rhone, across the Alps in Switzerland, maybe along the Inn to Passau and then down the Donau.

You've made a fork in about the same time as it takes me to get off my arse and make a sandwich.

If you go above 36-18 or tell it you're more than 100kg ritzelrechner.de will show a 'high torque' warning which is nice.

The quick release on the stem, just in case you need the bars lowered in a hurry.

Over time they seem to have revised the ratio down a few times. Originally it was 2.5, reduced to 2.1 in 2012, now the manual says 1.9. I don't think the internals have changed, just that they have always been beefy enough to cope.

When will you see another? There'll be a gap in your gazelle collection.

Mine fits 25mm tyres with about 2mm to spare to the chainstay on each side, and about 5mm to the seat tube and front mech.

Is it too late to get the cranks powdercoated purple?

For example, am I allowed to use a 36 x 15 gearing?

The manual is here (it's a 64MB PDF): https://www.rohloff.de/fileadmin/user_upload/manual_En_2017_11_update_2.pdf

Page 19 says you can. So does this (older) note: https://www.rohloff.de/en/company/news/news/speedhub-500-14-revised-permitted-transmission-factor-now-21

Does anyone have access to a chart that makes it clearer?

Does this help? https://www.rohloff.de/en/service/handbook/speedhub/tables
Otherwise try page 20 in the big PDF.

This is the update I have been waiting for.

Buy a new one and take the cap off it

You can just click for big on the imgbb image. This thing both bangs and slaps, I love it.

Forum favourite* bike right there. What rims are those?

*actually my top favourites are the home made kids bikes

The Castorama dungarees kit is surely one of the best ever.

Even better. Nice bike, would ride.

Lucky you :) No, just 1" threaded forks with enough steerer to go threadless are.

Where did you find a Gios fork with a long enough steerer?

A camper longflap in green, made by Emma. And a classic rack (no name).
