Budget (sub 1k) Build recs - UPDATE finished Build, what next?

[Livingmannequin]

Hey mate how has the wheels been doing? I've been thinking of getting a pair too, has the spokes been working well? still trued even after the settling in period? Would you recommend it?

Yeah still runs very true even after hitting 2 pretty big potholes

It's curious because I built a very similar one to you last year for me:)

I managed to keep the budget on 999€ for everything including pedals and shipping. And I love it. Honestly it's super confortable and lightweight.

I did some compromises like I preferred to have it painted than to have a "lighter" crank.

Very well done, did you post a detailed break down of your build on this forum? Would love to see what you bought and where the money went.
