Nice job!
How did you handle the repaint? is it just a tinge of paint in a clear coat?
Also, good weight starting from that frameset and wheels. Would you be able to provide an itemized list with weights?

Cool project. Have you only wet sanded to strip the frame or other methods too?

Did you do all the sanding by hand or did you use (power)tools?

Remodeled Shimano PD-M540 SPD, weight from 352g to 258g. Aliexpress carbon calipers but I don't use them due low braking performance.
