Finished my Argos minivelo for now. Originally planned to leave it as stock as possible but inevitably got slightly carried away and changed pretty much everything except the frameset, wheels and drivetrain. Down from a pretty dead feeling 13.5kg to under 11, which makes it ride so much nicer along with the new tyres.
Build ended up taking quite a long time due to BB being completely seized out of the factory, and a bent fork disc tab, possibly caused by persuading the BB in increasingly unconventional ways.
Really fun to ride. Not bad for <£200 + some parts bin stuff.
