I rode her to work this morning. The braking is absolutely superb, total control and heaps of power in reserve, it should handle a full touring load with ease. Modulation is great, you can feel exactly whats happening at the wheels and make very fine adjustments. It's early yet but I'm already 100% confident with the brakes. The bar setup looks weird but I'm settling in to it quickly. All the controls feel very ergonomic.
You're not the lone nut, there's at least two of us.
