I've built mine up and have been commuting on it this week - 10/12 miles each way of road, towpath with a few singletrack diversions thrown in. It's been great - a sturdy but nimble bike.
I'm pleased with the spec - TRP Hylex brakes, Alpkit flared drops, Arch EX/superstar wheels with 2.0 Big Apples and 2x10 gearing (38/24, 11-36) with dia-compe bar end friction shifters as I couldn't get hold of the indexed Microshift ones...
Hoping to use it for a mix of commuting/touring when not riding fat/full suss/road.
