@nev yep - been good fun so far. Had a guy stop me on the street yesterday and offer to buy the bike off me for a princely sum of £40. I politely declined.
Re: guards - I've found these which should fit http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b62s80p387 - 65mm width will be tight but give enough clearance for daily use.
Will post some pics now I've added the Midge bars and bar end shifters. New front rack in the post as well. Hoping for better weather tomorrow so I can head up to Epping Forest with the mtb tyres.

Nice!
what brake levers are you using on the midges?I'm looking forward to pics!

65mm will still be tight but offer some protection. Main problem I had with similar guards on 2.15 big apples was the length. Had to diy some flaps to keep the feet dry. Put one on the back too as even the carradice was getting splattered from the rear. Much better now.

Re mudguards: been running 65mm bluemels on 2.35 Big Apple's with plenty of clearance. Ogre 18"
Had to cut the stays a bit to get both front and rear closer to the tyres. Also a little extension under the fork for same reason but mainly to allow front rack/basket.

hope you're enjoying it! You'll need something pretty wide for those 2.3" super motos.
