That looks strangely lovely!
Front mech loks a bit precarious though.

Very interesting but I do have a few questions...Why is there a clamp on the seat post just below the saddle? Is that a DR chain tensioner or will that work with a non-DR tensioner? What is the the black object on the brake bolt behind the fork and are those stock brakes? Sure be nice to see this unfolded.

The chain is clean because it's not been ridden!
The weight will be the weight of a chain ring and a FD heavier than a regular non titanium model with a dynamo hub, and a 5 speed rear hub, which to be fair isn't much heavier than the 3 speed hub.
Looks nice but to be honest once you put a 5 speed hub in it, there are so many overlapping gears with having 2 chainring, I'm not sure I see what it adds other than aesthetics.

Chris has answered most of your questions, this upgrade is not for light weight, so I am guessing 12kg? Let me check if I can get a correct number.

The extra chainring really doesn't improve much on gear range. I will think a Schlumpf Mountain Drive much practical in this case and cleaner without all the cable and derailleur stuffs. But then the catchy title has to be changed...^_^

How much time do you spend sat on the saddle vs carrying it?
Is it possible to carry a Brommie by the frame?

I carry mine by the frame, usually between the seat post and the curved brace. Of course if there is more weight on the front than back or vice-versa you can adjust for that.
