Photos and early ride descriptions when the time comes, please, especially wrt the S2C which I from time to time consider for a cop-out alternative wheel for my Riv fixies. I hankered after a S1 myself until the Herse put paid to that particular dream, at least for now -- it fills the role I had in mind for the S1, videlicet, an all-rounder, load carrying bike that is also fun to ride fast. Your build sounds perfectly reasonable, tho' I personally find any bar except a drop uncomfortable.
I wonder how the S1 will handle with a front load? My other Rivs have been happiest with most of the weight in back. I bought the Herse for its putative (!!) front loading capacity -- hope to really test it once I get a porteur rack, God willing, later this week.
