If so, are you happy with it and do you know if it will take
mudguards and a rack? Oh, and the tyres it comes with are 26 wide,
would it take 32? Will be going into my LBS but thought someone here
might know anyway?

The standard one (without the carbon rear end) is the same frame and fork as
the Sirrus, so it will take 32.

Possibly not my place to say this, but it sounds like you're describing a
lightweight touring bike. Maybe something else to think about.

Indeed. Its light, its advertised as touring use in their brochure, (and I
wouldnt be carrying heavy loads anyway), plus I like the look of it (dont
want to spend £700+ on something that looks [censored]) and its got good reviews
and reasonable spec for the price. Also comes with the bar top auxillary
brakes which otherwise I'd have to get added if I went for a drop bar bike
(just too wedded to my 'suicide bars :-).

Have considered alternatives such as Thorn Brevit, Paul Hewit cheviot (too
far away from me unfortunately :-(, Dawes Audax, ridgeback horizon (very
light bike). Had a look at the Brevit last week, also the Ravens but they
look a bit 'clunky' for my tastes and cost double. SJS is a great shop to
look in, too much choice if anything, I was an inch away from buying a bike
but in the end couldnt make my mind up, came away with 4 possibles.
