The shifter arrangement is staying, it works very nicely despite the looks.
I think you meant to say 'with the added bonus of the looks'.
Sick rack!

Personally I prefer them setup on the underside of the handlebar - it means you have to run both shifters in friction mode, but it is pure shifting bliss.

They might grow on me suppose. Rack was a recent ebay win, I had settled for a Surly nice rack, but this is a bit more interesting. It was described as quite rusty, indeed it had quite a lot of surface spots, but 30 mins with some 0000 grade wire wool and it is almost like new.
The tires seem good. They roll well and are grippy, but are not as supple as supermotos or my Rat Trap Pass'. They feel very like a large volume marathon supreme, which is probably what you might expect and in my view is not a bad thing. I didn't buy them for speed so am happy.

Groupset is now exactly how I want it. I've put a few km on it just riding around lanes and towpaths, it's solid and precise. The shifter arrangement is staying, it works very nicely despite the looks.
Also anyone with really keen eyes for detail might be able to work out what else is fitted to facilitate a bit more load hauling.
