I made a few more changes to the Dolan as part rearranging bits to balance maximum ride quality/durability with minimum expenditure while putting the nicer bits aside to save for the Orlowski.
I dismantled the old wheelset, primarily to get the benefits of the Archetypes' increased width onto the rear wheel but also as it presented a chance to refurb and service everything.
From crusty to shiny:
A friend helped me to strip the anodising off the Archetype and polished it up and breath a new lease of life into a ratty old black Kally seatpost
All that was left to do was build the rear wheel up and install kalloy seatpost & old saddle
25c pasela looks massive on there
I'm well chuffed with the results, £0 spent and it's lighter, rides nicer and I got to refresh some old components.
