I agree with what you've said, it's a little sluggish in comparison to more spritely bikes, but I really think it's an incredible frameset for 3 main types of riding I used it for:
1) Touring, gravel or road
2) Off-roading, slower than cross but more technical (Shimano skewers will sort your issue, they're fit and forget in my experience)
3) Commuting
The one place it really felt shit was on a road ride, with people riding 'normal' bikes.
