Would like a closer look at the paintjob please.
What size chainring and why the red Rohloff....... I can understand that you wanted the hubs to match, but why red?
Rear disc brake and front cantis? Again, why?
Not criticisms, just curious.
Enjoy and happy riding.

Front chainring 50t rear sprocket 17t, although I'll probably change sprocket to 16t as I,m not using the lower gears and a little extra high gearing would be good.
No reason for the red hubs I just like them.
I bought this bike for my winter riding which mainly consists of hilly wet country lanes, I feel disc brakes are more reliable for this, the front calliper is a compromise as wanted to fit full mudguards, I,m very pleased with this set up.

Very nice. I have a heavy duty 26" Rohloff equipped tourer and was seriously considering getting a Rohloff Mercury as a fast tourer/audax bike but have decided on a more traditional 'classic' steed instead. Quite envious of yours though. Really hope you enjoy it.

What size is the frame?

It's quite possible to fit mudguards to a disc brake equipped fork. Nice bike tho'
