First day and my 9 mile commute (one way) was about 7 minute faster.

I was a little worried about the rack, but it held up nicely. When it's unloaded the rack has a bit of a rattle due to the fact that it's not bolted hard to the frame anywhere. It's clipped on to a hinge at the bottom and a latch at the top. However, when it's loaded the rattle quiets down. Overall, very happy with the first day.

Still, the highest priorities are a Brooks B17 and a conversion to drop bars.
