Thanks.
It worked pretty well, though the geometry is not what I would choose for a long distance tour. More like an old hybrid style than a road bike. But the wider range cassette handled the Pass well enough so it will do for most ordinary hills. I really see this as a take along bike for trips where packing smaller is needed or relaxed trips where mileage isn't a priority.
I had ordered some parts from Carradice for the trip but they only came while I was away, so I'll take some pics of them in the next day or two. Currently neck deep in photo editing.
