Well, did the 4 day tour last weekend. Horrendous rain and headwind for the first day in France, but it didn't spoil the whole experience. The bike was excellent. The guards were noisy at times and needed a little fettling, but overall 370+ miles in 4 days fully loaded and it was comfortable, stable and enjoyable to ride. A couple of brushes the toe/foot overlap on the occasional low speed tight turn, but it didn't live up to it's name and throw me over the bars! For 99.99999% of the ride i.e. the rest of it, the geo worked perfectly for me (and my odd t-rex proportions) and overall I'm over the moon with the bike as exactly what I wanted for the brief I gave Tom.
I like this pic of my breakfast on the last day with the bike leaning against the window outside:
