Looks great! What sort of gear range do you have with the pinion crank and belt drive? I assume the frame is steel?

Looks very nice.
That taillight looks like a dyno powered type of taillight, but I do not see the headlight? Or is it battery?
Rear rack, not much heel clearance if you put large panniers on it, I assume they are not part of your plan?
I would have used more than 28 spokes per wheel, but perhaps you plan to travel light.

It is a Pinion 18. The bike is a custom steel all terrain bike from Joseph Ahearne. It can be set up for dirt touring, 27.5 and road touring 700. The bike is an early retirement gift to myself so I tried to make it my dream build. The wait was about a year.

Immediate plans are for some local touring here in Virginia. The bike was built for retirement tours on the Great Divide and Trans Am. I view the bike as my life machine that will keep me moving in retirement.
