After talking about this bike in @r_mash's thread, thought I would offer an update.
Rode London to Bath on Tuesday with mudguards and bikepacking gear. Got home, removed the mudguards and raced a crit. Both felt completely natural. What a worldie of a bike.
Some pillock can't corner and took me out, hence the fucked up bartape and hood. Also need to replace the front wheel with something or other. Also sprayed the PDW mudguard stays black for reasons.
Still very tempted to get this paint job stripped and done professionally. It's such a brilliant bike it seems a shame to leave it so ratty.
