In other news, completed a 1400k randonneur, bike worked exactly as it should, very pleased with it, only issue is the rear derailleur was busted and quickly fit a cheap one (hooray for friction) and truing the rear wheel.
The drivetrain is clean! even after 1400k, all i got was a bit of dust on the chain, but it still in it's original wax.
what mudguards? x
