Much shiny. So flash. Wow!

Final form. A higher plane of functional existence. Front derailleur now fouls on the mudguard but i'll deal with that later.

nice .. how painful was it to install guards?

Not very painful to be honest. I needed new stays for the front and the bridge mount on the rear was a bit of a faff, but overall pretty easy. Less faff than the SKS that I put on Mrs upsidedown's bike last week.

10.9kg. Or pretty much exactly double my hillclimb bike.

Very very decent indeed. Hopefully the crank rats up a bit though, looks very conspicuous with the matte finish

Very functional mind.

Looks absolutely great to be honest!

Mmm, yeah it does stand out. I don't think the chunky chainrings help tbh.
I'd prefer a 48t outer but I'm not sure Shimano make one.

Tidy bit of mudguard setup there!

Awesome. Better than all the stealth yawnfests. Flap game is strong

Proportions are good; component selection is appropriate; only knock on it is the colour mismatching.

The problem - 50t outer chainring is too big, I like to sit at around 105rpm and this means I'm spending too much time at the top(bottom?) of the cassette.
The solution - smaller outer chainring.
The options - BBB or TA for a ring to fit my current cranks, or curveball:
Shimano CX chainset. Would need to switch out the 36t for a 34t but that's easy (cheap) enough with 5 arm cranks.
Thoughts? I would probably be happy dropping to a slightly smaller little ring - is there some sort of weirdo Scoble 46/32 crankset out there?

Sugino OX series? 110bcd arms with additional 74bcd inner mounts for chainrings down to 26t

Forgot to say, cheap is also a priority.
Stays need trimming obvs, and haven't done rear yet. Flaps ordered.
