Thought I should update this since I've been doing a lot of riding/fettling.
Shimano 600 aero seatpost, Rolls, Deda Piega bars (made a massive difference to comfort), bar-end shifters, Jagwire cables, Rivendell Ruffy Tuffy 28c tyres. Oh, and I weighed it too - 10.5kg. Not bad considering the enormous frame. The only further change I might make is a wider 7sp cassette and a triple chainring (the derailleurs can handle it).
It's becoming more and more of a long-distance bike - done two centuries on it in supreme comfort. I've also got a massive bikepack.pl saddlepack, so with the addition of a bar-bag, it'll make a good fast tourer, perhaps. Lejog before I leave for NZ? Hmm...
edit - lol at the picture. It still looks like a stretched bike when you take a photo from side-on.
