Thanks for the all the nice comments (late reply .... thought I had subscribed to this thread but obviously didn't!). I regularly think of selling the bike as finances very tight (young kids) and touring won't happen for a few years at least (young kids!). BUT I love the bike and it goes like the clappers and is very comfortable. It will be a shame to put big tyres, racks and mudguards on it ... I'm just about to remove the titanium Brooks to fit a racing saddle...
