Re:

It's not the lightest thing on two wheels, but considering how much of the original running gear I have retained, it was an absolute give away.

Next mudguards and a front light or two.

Re:

I think that maybe gearing and rolling resistance play their part.

For road riding, mtb gearing is obviously slower but much easier, especially on the climbs, and the Continental tyres I have just roll superbly and seem to produce almost no drag.
