I took it out for my daily lunch ride (most of my lunch rides are on my CX or MTB on trails) of a hair over 20 miles and 1000ft. of climbing. It's a road loop I have laid out that gets me out and back in about 1:20.
My initial impressions and ride report (with pics):

I can't believe I was just fractions of a second slower on my Nano, and just 0.4MPH slower - than I am on my Surly Pacer. Granted, there are a lot of variables on a given day (head wind, physical state of rider, etc.) but my mind is absolutely blown by today's ride stats. The one thing I don't understand is how the exact same loop on my Nano produced more elevation gain - over 200ft. more. On my 700c bikes, I read a climb of +/- 730ft, yet on my Nano, the elevation gain was 1000ft. exactly. I'll have to do the loop again to see if it reads differently.
Heck, I even dropped a rider on the climb today. Weird.
I wasn't expecting the Nano to perform. Thanks for all your reports - it made my decision much easier.
