Probably not so much a creation and a kit build.. Having had a go at the brompton folding bike kit I was so impressed I set about my TriCross that I had in London for commuting from the station. Here is is when it was new eight years ago in the first pic.
Having I went with similar parts to the bromton with the CA3,Phaserunner combo and a Crystalite M354R with a 700 DM24 rim. All arrived super quick this time and no hassle with customs.

The dropouts required a bit of filing and it was all a tight fit in the rear but, in it is. The wheel is slightly offset so I cant get the mudguards on but talking to my local bike shop I we will see if we can true it over a bit.
Riding is a dream, now I have put the cranks on properly aligned with the Sempu bottom bracket. With them out by 90 degrees you get a very weird accelerating and decelerating when pedaling at a constant cadence. MY Sempu wanted to be reversed from the standard CA settings.
Great service also from EM3EV. 52V 14S9P-35E The battery is ballistic and you get such a smile at full throttle. I get 50 miles no problem with fast riding and I am sure with some more conservative settings one might double that. Mind you I am not sure at what level to set the low battery level. More playing will see more efficiency I'm sure.
I also splashed out on the grin lights which make sense to have them on and always powered up with the bike. I also added a GPS tracker charged by the USB out from the battery so I know where it is
All to be thoroughly recommended -
