I have taken the Chesini of the turbo and given it a bit of TLC.

No, local wheel refinishers £50, transfers from Serbia.

Took it for a spin today, rides well, but I am used to tubeless now, the narrowest I have been running is 28mm tubeless, on the Chesini they are 25mm tubed at a higher pressure and I can tell the difference, I might have to source some tubeless rims or wheelset.

Is there enough clearance for bigger tyres?

I have put 28s on the bike that I bought off your lad, and they are a noticeable improvement on the 25s that I originally put on.

Yes it will take 28's I have tried the ones I have on another set of wheels, I have run tubeless on non tubeless rims on the MTB, I have some 25 tubeless that I have tried on the normal rims but they are too slack, and at the higher pressure required not worth the risk.

Well it looks great.

I run my roadies tubeless too (other than the Claud), can fee the difference. Attention to wheels and the like really makes a road bike.

Don't on my MTBs, with my weight I can't run the low pressures anyway.

Nice project.
