Swapped this bike for a couple bottles of wine last night: got brand new wheels, tires and cassette and pannier rack with it; and used it for the morning commute today. Usually I'm on a steel frame peugeot with 700x25 tires, so thought this would be sluggish as hell. Was very pleasantly surprised; it's much comfier ride, only a little bit more effort on the flats to keep up to my normal speed and so much better at going over drains/rubbish tarmac etc! Not used to really wide handle bars so couldn't filter as much, but that's probably for the best.
