Custom built for winky by this guy.....
Sam Whittingham, the master. Built by hand in his workshop-in-the-forest-by-the-bay up on beautiful Quadra Island. Can't get much more "westcoast" than that. Check out his work at nakedbicycles.com.

Same rule applies to guitars. 
Enjoy your new bike, Winky.
It's a nice blend of traditional well proven features plus a few well though out 21st century bits in the mix.
The 12mm tho axles have some excellent engineering to locate with on the frame dropouts.
Winky, i see the frame has fixing points on seat-stay bridge and folk crown, do you intend to use mudguards [or do you call them 'fenders' over there?] and have a particular brand in mind?
Is this your bike with the 'gravel wheels'? 
What a cassic and beautiful bike.
Love the paint scheme.
My bike from today. The Chris King rear hub is from 2003. I have not changed the bearings yet. I open the hub twice every year, uses a cloth to clean te inside and apply new oil. Use the hub tool perhaps every second year. Front hub is new this year since the fork uses the boost standard.

That IS indeed my bike. Where did you get that photo? Sam hasn't put them up yet. I'm impressed with your sleuthing. Yep, those are the other wheels. Orange hubs. The rims are a bit wider and have 40mm Maxxis tyres on them.
Yes fenders for the Vancouver winter commute and winter club-rides. The fenders (mudguards) are ordered but still to arrive. Not sure of the brand, but they're nothing fancy.
