No regrets, it's a great bike: year 'round commuter, loaded tourer, road bike. I just change the config a little and it'll do just about anything. I built mine from the frame up so the spec is just fine. The only issue; I run a short stem (by about 10/15 mm) since the top tube is a little on the long side for me, can't ride in the drops much. As much as I get wrapped around that at times, I have yet to find a better alternative. When I start spec'ing something else out, it's then that I realize that I've been on a Cross Check (I switched from a 60 cm to a 58 about 4 years ago) for almost 6 years and it's never let me down. It's comfortable, solid, flexible, moderately fast with good handling, and reasonably priced-a perfect commuter (which is about 99% of it's yearly duty).
