I don't like that the government(?) riveted on an ID tag into a hole drilled into your frame tube, but I guess that is the lowest stressed part of the frame. Is that for licensing/registration, or theft recovery?
Hahahahahaha the tag is an old one from a long defunct Belgian cycle registration scheme, found on the cobbles at a flea market in Brussels. I picked it up as a souvenir and to point at when ranty drivers go off on one about how all cyclists should be registered/insured/number plated/branded with an iron/flogged in the stocks. The mounting point is one of four screws that Tern for reasons unknown fitted into the central beam of their Link frame, two on each side.
As for the gears, the cassette is a Microshift Advent 9 speed 11-46T block. At the time that photo was taken (it’s the most recent one I’ve got showing that bag, despite it being my most used one) I still had the standard Tern 52T chainset fitted. Since then I’ve swopped it out for a 47T Litepro chainset.
