The front seat mount is the one that came with the kit as the rear seat mount.
It fits straight onto the rear seat base tube through the frame.
I thought about using a Rans clamp but this was easy.
I made a U-bracket for the rear of the seat that bolts to chromoly tubes which replace the supplied rear stays.
The seat is one I had in the shed, probably from Raptobike.
The seat bag came with a Carbent I used to own.
I wanted to keep the BB as high as possible, and the seat as low as possible, hence seat position.
I do have some misgivings about the CoG possibly being too far back for steep or gravel roads.
Weather is alternating rain, hail and sunshine so I may fit narrower tyres with mudguards for extended testing.
My X-seam is about 43" IIRC.

Bill,
Did you manage to fix the boom slider clamp issue?
I have the same problem (the outer tube is slotted).
I notice the finish on the boom tubes is rougher than the old kit boom, which has never slipped on me.
I too am using a Rohloff Speedhub, but with a tensioner.

I also had the boom slip off. If you send a request to support at Cruzbike, they will send you another clamp. It helps.
Until then, close the clamp with the lever and tighten more with a hex wrench. This solved my problem completely. I am also using the extra clamp.
This makes adjustments a little slower, but the boom slipping under load must be prevented.
Good luck.
The boom has not slipped since I took off the quick release lever and use a wrench to tighten the clamp (same as @Brad R).
I didn't request the additional clamp from Cruzbike since this has been working fine for me.
My Rohloff hub is now on its third bike!
I'd have a chain tensioner and a double crank too if I had this to look forward to this at the end of every ride.
At least you get to start your rides easy and fast, there is a lot to be said for that.

Not enough to fit a mudguard.

Hello all,
i got the idea of getting a frame and putting the parts of my well-used Fahrradmanufaktur T-50 on it to save costs. One question i got now, is if other brakes besides discbrakes are possible too.
thx in advance for answers

In the photo, what type of mount is that holding the computer on the boom? Where to get one?

I don't know what your steerer?? stem diameter is so you need to measure it.
