It was just too heavy in the end. Down to the frameset and brakes.
I hope to cobble together something similar in the future, using a lightweight tubeset and cantilever brakes.
Fork, wheels, and taking a quarter of the luggage (lose rack and bag) are your best ways to improve weight there I think. Riding a heavy bike can be naff but audax is one of those nice areas in which you can do it, and do it slowly and its all good
