Went for a first proper 20 mile ride yesterday through Hampshire yesterday.
Quite bouncy and comfortable, not used to larger volume tyres and titanium so I'm liking it!
Managed to go off-road and join the South Downs way accidentally which was fine for me, but not so fine for my wife's 23mm continental tyres... no punctures but not much grip on mud and gravel.
I'd changed to a 120mm ritchey WCS stem, which is a bit too long so need to find a suitable 100mm one. Need to adjust the dérailleurs a bit and maybe get a flexible noodles for the front and back cable runs to improve braking feel.
No issues with the brakes, about 1.5mm of toe in seems to have done the trick!
