I'm happy with it. Was considering buying a 26" LHT, but I already have a 2014 Novara Randonee and it's a solid tourer, was afraid my girl would ring my neck if I brought home a another dedicated tourer. Sold her on the versatility of the CC. Gonna set it up with a dynamo hub and lighting next month and use as a century/randonneuring/credit card tourer.
