Made a few changes since I posted back on page 40, its now become my dedicated winter/rubbish weather bike.

Changes:
New wheels under a planet x warranty claim, fizik bar tape in grey (I know its breaking the black or white form rules), SKS Olympic mudguards, KMC chain, this might be changed as I have a silver KMC kool chain instock! XLC minimalist road pads and holders, Shimano PD A520 road spd pedals, Onza chain ring bolts, and Conti tyres.

Like it. The fit you achieved with the mudguards is outstanding.

Bit of a perfectionist (read ocd) I would rather spend a couple of hours getting something right than it look awful, worst part of the guards was getting them to sit straight front to back. My buddy has just had a custom steel audax bike built when he turned up on it I spent an hour refitting the mudguards as you could see daylight under them shocking fit for what he paid!

just a quick update on the Dawes I bought about a year or so ago.

I bought it from a chap on ebay for about 50 quid. the frame was pitted, the wheels a little shot and the running gear had been removed, see below

I had the frame sandblasted and resprayed as close as possible - in reality, no where near.

I sourced some parts on ebay and through mates, stuck my RS30 wheels on it and turned it into this - excuse the odd angles, I was redoing the bars etc when this picture was taken

and finally, changed the wheels over to the stock ones that came with my Genesis Equilibrium, added the crud catchers and voila! it gets used for all sorts hence the cable locks.

I'm the same, I spent an hour getting the mudguards to sit right on my Dawes Audax

New commuter. Weighs a tonne, but does the job.

I don't think you will regret it, it will be worth the wait I think.

@ianrauk - the colour is called burnt copper on the website - a bit dramatic but up close its even better.
