I don't understand why you're not better off with a POS road bike on the turbo. You want mudguards on the CdF right? If you have a rear rack too, altogether it seems like it's going to be a real pain removing and replacing the wheel all the time... And is 44/28 the best choice for a turbo? You don't need the low end but I guess as long as you can have the ratios for the right amount of effort/cadence for you that doesn't really matter
If you have space I'd grab something like a Triban 500 or Ribble Audax for £100, swap the rear shifter, derailleur and crankset for whatever 11-speed stuff you can get cheap and throw the rear wheel, brakes, etc. in the bin. Then just leave it on the turbo forever.
