I'm pretty much done, finally. I did a short test ride, well chuffed. Simply fun to ride. The tyres feel surprisingly smooth even on paved roads, not in any hurry to change to anything else. I'm still gonna swap out the cheap bottle cages for King Cage Irises, these feel pretty flimsy.
One (or pretty much the single) annoyance was rattling from pebbles being thrown inside the steel mudguards when riding on gravel. I'm thinking of trying some "heli tape" inside the mudguards.
I used some wire to anchor the tip of the front mudguard, seems to work well.
