Here's my new IRO Rob Roy built up to be my new commuter:
The Nexus 8 red band is pretty heavy - which I didn't mind too much on my old, lighter Bianchi, on the Rob Roy, with the rack, fenders, trekking bars, 700x35 Panaracer T-servs, it adds to quite a hefty package. It's still a joy to cruise on and by far the most comfortable ride I've every had.
