Yes dad!
For work I use a small rucksack, sub 3hr rides my jersey pockets, 3-5hr rides I have a handlebar bag, all day with a possible overnight handlebar bag and Carradice audax, I don't really tour as I like being at home (or a friend's home, not an option at the moment).
Apart from tyres, brakes and the 90mm stem, it's everything off my All City, haven't ridden it enough to compare honestly, but so far, it feels fookin fantastic!

Looking grand! If it were mine I'd go all silver, other than maybe the stem and calipers... but it's yours (woop!), and these things can evolve over time. The main thing is that makes you grin!
I like that you're using the parts from a previous bike to begin with - I imagine that doing so highlights the difference between the two frames in terms of ride quality and handling etc. Pretty much every component on mine is new to me so it's harder to tell.
Will you be getting bags as well? Or is it more for one-day-at-a-time usage? (Sorry if I've missed that part of the chats earlier on).
Also... stop smoking, it's bad for you!
