She was quite some time in the specification but from the following components I’ve assembled what I think is a really solid bike for the type of touring that I’m going to be doing. I’ll look to add some notes/reviews once I’ve put it all through the wringer a bit more!

Rear Hub/Gears: Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 (TS OEM2 DB EX 36h Black)
Tyres: Schwalbe Marathon Mondial, 50-622 (28 x 2.00)
Great tyres but a little on the narrow side. Would go with the soon-to-be-released Surly Extraterrestrials (2.5″) for a similar future trip. Would go tubeless too.
Brakes: TRP Spyke Disc Brakes
Nice brakes and easy to adjust (individual pad adjustment is much better than BB7).

Handlebars: Jones Loop H-Bar (710mm, Black)
Love these bars – give several options for hand positions.

Saddle: Brooks B17 Standard (Brown)
Chain Tensioner: Surly Tuggnut
Power Convertor: Cinq-5 Plug III
Nice design and works reasonably well but only 1A output, so I’d prob go with an Igaro D1 for next time, which is much more efficient and 3A output. Makes a big difference for charging at slower speeds (on dirt roads).
Pedals: Hope F20
Great large platform and decent size pins provide excellent grip.
