Yet another update (I'm boring myself now).
Decided to go flat bar* for now and fit a spare GX groupset I had laying about along with some SRAM guide brakes. Finally got some guards that fit and slung it all together ready for this mornings commute. I've changed the saddle from the Gobi to a spare Aliante I had kicking about and the post is some carbon thing that was surplus when I changed the Cervelo one to Zipp.
Still have to de-sticker the rims and I've got a Jones bar on order (*!) which should hopefully turn up this week which I am most excite about.
Commute in this morning (about 16 miles) proved that it's not as quick as my normal commuter (but not by much, around 4 minutes slower) but it's pretty comfy with the exception of the bars which put quite a bit of weight on my wrists and resulted in me going full aerotuckt on the Old Kent road this morning. Hopefully the Jones bars will rectify this.
