Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

So got time to work on the Boardman gravel conversion today - few before pics

work done -

• removal of winter reflectors plastered all over the place using 3M tape --- best thing i found to get this sticky residue off GT85
  
• mavic aksiums converted to QR and fitted with winter tyres (durano plus + tubes - heavy but never punctured in winter)
  
• said wheels destickered
  
• conversion of triple to super compact double + addition of bashguard thanks to @Lolo
  
• full outer (compressionless) to RD - and move the RD "arc" as it was catching my heel.
  
• move FD down to middle ring height
  
• bottle cage move down using shimano kit
  
• bottle cages added, one side entry for one of them
  
• full clean !
  
  

to do :-

• addition of the spacers to the BB to alter the chainline - this is because the shimano plastic tool to get out the crank (the 'star' thing) has become unuseable, need a replacement
  
• swap of 9sp XTR to 10speed (although i might not, i like the rear mech!!!)
  
• full BB clean and regrease as well as chain + rear mech (when i get the BB out!)
  
  

to buy :

• flared bars + new bar tape
  
• frame bag
  
• gravel tyres - thinking kenda 32 block for yorkshire dales byways...? i have the burly rims for them already for swap outs
  
• pedals - i like crank bro's egg beaters as i have them on my roadie + backup rodie...
  after:
  
  Current weight : 10.2kg
  
  

things i'd like to do :-

• black FD and black inner ring
  
• black hydo callipers, silver were on discount when i got them, or go full hydro.
  
  

EDIT:
close up of triple -> double

rear "arc" + RD
