my sister's little Argos just got pimped

A23 x novatec x sapim CX ray make a very nice wheelset - thanks to Arup for putting them together.

I only need brakes and cables. Any recomendation of cheap brakes that will work with wide tyres?
I've been looking at wiggle but all of them are at least 40€. Which is almost the price of the bike.

Buy used brakes then? A full set of decent old V-brakes should fit around wide tyres , and not cost too much.

That said, just because the bike was bought cheap, it doesn't mean that everything you put on it has to cost a lot less than it.
I come across similar sentiments when people buy nice old-ish cars (like '80s Mercs and BMWs) - they balk at buying new dealer-price parts for them on the grounds that the car only cost them only a couple of grand, forgetting that the cars were like forty or fifty grand new.
This attitude puzzles me.

Not even sure if I'll buy it.
ATM I've 3 bikes at my home.
I can have 4 maximum.
In 2-3 weeks my velodrome bike is coming home since the velodrome is shutting down for 5 months.
So, 4 bikes ok, 5 bikes no :(
I could try to buy new bike rack and see if I can fit 5 bikes but not really sure what to do now, as I don't really need a new bike...

Très beaux cadres Gaston !
This is my Faggin pista, I will replace the cranks with a c-record and apply the stickers

Yay new Gaston bikes :)

This weekend's bike fettling, for me, has been switching the Ti Wonder from 10 speed SRAM Force:

to 11 speed Dura Ace, along with some de-redening. Didn't get to ride it, so that's something to look forward to next time I'm cuckooclockside.

Apologies for shit photo. Phone camera, and it was about to start raining again.
