Have had a couple of commutes on it now, absolutely love it - exactly what I was after. Took a little detour round Beckenham Place Park on the way home, blasted down some paths and dirt construction roads, brilliant fun though the tyres obviously aren't great on the looser stuff.
Pretty much done now. Got a Romin which looks good and fits well (thanks @jono84) and some proper lock on grips. No more bits borrowed from other bikes.
Even the hateful brake rubbing is down to an acceptable shing shinging after I freed up a stuck piston - the Clarks M2 are amazingly cheap and actually pretty awesome, but annoying to have that from the off. Hopefully won't come back.
Had grand plans to get some braze ons to fit a pizza rack, but got a decent bar bag so don't think I'll bother for now. Next up in the future will probably be knobbly bigger tyres and a smaller ratio if I get time to take it properly off road.
