That's kind, Choccers but I'm afraid at the mo I wouldn't even make Chorlton without resorting to the train, never mind from Chorlton out to Cheshire and back again!
I should be able to get a pass out for half a day on Sunday?

Third day of commuting today. It's turning out to be a great package. The wheels, or really the rims, really really let it down. They are heavy. They don't have a CNC machined braking surface either which lets braking down a bit. Reasonable hubs and stainless spokes tho!
Despite that, I'm averaging high teens going to work and mid-teens getting home. Thus far it's about 2 mph slower on average than the Focus Cayo and 3 mph faster than the Cannondale MTB on 1.5" Marathons.
The wheels/rims are only change I would make. Aside from trimming the steerer
