Thanks all!

Top work, the basket mounted bottle cage is my favourite bit.

Thanks. That Wald basket comes drilled for mounting hardware so all you have to do is drill one more hole at the very bottom and bam!

"Done." I will likely go back and fine-tune a few things (Rear sections of housing are a little long and I forgot to remove the sleeves from the noodles at the shifter which is causing a bit of drag) but I put 30mi on it last night and it's been a real treat!

After nearly three years of repeatedly picking up and abandoning this project, my Rohloff Cycletruck is finally done!

A few snapshots of the build yesterday. I got invited to a group ride last night so it was a rush to get it together.

About 85% done in this photo. I still had to do the dynamo wiring and install the bags.

Don’t get me started on Terns. They totally ruined a great product with the Gen2

Is that the tailight connector with all the crazy splicing?

my new little cargo bike

Love it!

Your IQ-X is upsidedown, innit?

I'm 6' and I went with a 58 based on standover (I have a 32.5" inseam.)

Having owned a 58 and ridden my friends 56 quite a bit, for me it was down to riding style/position: If you wanna do more rowdy/offroad/aggressive stuff, go with a 56. For general use a 58 is probably better given the taller headtube so long as you can clear the standover.

It's amazing how a straight-blade carbon fork completely changes the look of the Midnight Special.

That's a really nice collection of shiny silver parts you have put together for this project.

Thank you. I don't recommend it lol.

As mentioned, I brought the frame home last night, but unfortunately with the narrow window I have to get this thing rolling again, I wasn't able to take my own photos before moving ahead with spot treating the exposed areas. The fabricator who did the work has some nice detail shots on his IG if you're interested, including an awesome demonstration of the snap-in dynamo guides he made for this project.

For now, all I have is a sad shot taken during my scramble to get the exposed areas covered before work this morning. A drippy rattelcan paintjob is a bit anticlimactic, but I just don't have the funds for a proper on right now. Next year, hopefully...

The hub looks dramatically better without the black flange supports.

I was able to get the wheel laced up at home last night, but my truing stand is at work, so I had to take the wheel on my back for a nerve wracking 16km.

The wheel tensioned up nicely and the set is ready for the bike.

I mentioned a scramble: The hope is to get the bike back together tomorrow morning - I'll take some detail shots during.

These look great. Did you have any issues with corrosion on the two steel Allen screws which hold each brake together (whose heads are on the inner face)?

I was expecting to, but did not. Perhaps they changed to hardware with a more resilient finish?

Just picked up the frame and it looks fantastic! I'll post photos tomorrow when it's light out.

Cheers! I'm pretty proud of the polished kit against the black frameset.

I met up with the fabricator today and he's just finalizing the fit of the dynamo guides - should have the frame back in the next couple of days!

Things are moving slowly at the fabricator's workshop; new ETA for getting the frame back is end of next week.

After I get it back I'll need to paint the exposed areas and build the new wheel, otherwise everything else has been cleaned up and is ready for install.

What type of front hub is that?

I've started taking another crack at modular, starting with building a little Filter chain.

• LPF
  
• Multi-mode filter
  
• Dual LFO
  
• Dual EG
  
  

Outside of an input and output, anything else that might add to it?

I've heard good things about the S2400, and I think it's like $1,500 new.

Every track crank is lefthand drive if you try hard enough.

the seat post is slipping a bit, which is annoying.

If you mean the seatpost collar: It's pretty hard to get those tight enough. If you don't need the QR function, I highly recommend replacing it with a standard one. Otherwise a good set of pliers does wonders.

If you mean the seatpost clamp: You can try pulling it apart and applying some fibergrip to the contacting faces, but it's a toss up as to whether or not it will help once it starts slipping.

He was a local builder here. RIP.

That turned out great!
