Cheers Platypus.
Would i be completely silly to get one and stick some more allround-ish tyres on it for touring on less rugged surfaces or even tarmac?

no! it's great value, with a few easy component swaps you could have a great ride. wouldn't say it would be perfect for tarmac tho.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind then. It doesn't seem to have mounts for a rear rack though, which is fairly weird IMO.
What other component swaps would be most urgent in your opinion? I was mostly thinking tyres and handlebar gribs, but maybe the cassette aswell.
