With winter is coming, I'm considering getting something to spare my Tonic Fabrication. Kitted out as it is with clip-on mudguards, I'm not inclined to take it out in ice and snow.
As a result, I'm looking into the FXE that comes with the full guards:

My main reservation is that I'd like to run at least 25mm tyres, and maybe even 28.
My questions therefore are:
Has anyone purchased this particular build of the FXE, and what do you think about it? Particularly interest in what kind of weight the 54cm build is.
Do either of the cheaper wheelsets it comes with (Mach1 and Navigator) play well with 25/28 and indeed, does the frameset/guards even have the clearance for them?
