It'd probably be cheaper
I dunno these things have a way of spiralling!
But yes, I am thinking putting the money and effort into the faran instead - would solve the problem of storage. Theres the LB group buy so may a pair of these https://www.lightbicycle.com/700C-road-bicycle-rims-32mm-wide-38mm-deep-symmetric-clincher-road-disc-brake-available.html
The appeal of something else is i've never had a proper road bike so I'm curious

Very true. A fast bike is nice, nicer than a nice set of wheels for the Farran.

Steel bikes always 'feel' heavy (and they are heavy as well). Esp with hydro disc. Nothing you can do about it.
Buy a top end alu or mid level carbon bike for summer/road riding :)

Most of my TL issues are on the same wheelset, do think it's those Hope rims.
It'd probably be cheaper to get a light rim brake bike but what about the somewhat illogical thing of getting some lighter wheels for this, something ~40mm deep with a more modern internal width (than the Hopes) from LB or similar.
