Looks like this is pretty much perfect now. That means: what’s next ;)
P.s. what’s the final weight?
Sig_Arlecchino-
A second wheelset for this with big knobbly tyres for now...

Complete bike as-is weighs just over 8.9Kg according to a shite set of luggage scales, which corresponds to the embarrassing spreadsheet containing all the actual component weights via a decent kitchen scale.
Could easily lose a couple of hundred grams by chopping the end off the 410mm seatpost, lighter BB/stem/rotors etc but all the bits are exactly what I imagined from the start now and it’s plenty light enough.
Was mildly addictive picking bits & taking mass into consideration... Can see how unfortunate souls get sucked into the weenie vortex now.

Been running errands on this around town all day. So comfy & chilled to ride on the road, due in no small part to the tyres, which also dealt with the rain better than anything else I’ve ridden.
Refurbed brakes are perfect so far, aside from both discs being slightly out of true. Gonna get the pliers out.
