Not a bad speed (what I aim to do most of the time) if there are decent hills involved then it is definitely a good speed!!!!

The whole cleat debate, if you want to use MTB shoes that bad, just get some MTB pedals?

Definitely agree gloves are a must.

On a side note, my boss found an ultegra front and rear derailer in his office, nice little upgrade for the bike Also bought an ultegra cassette since it was cheap.

Just leaves the leavers and brakes as Sora.
That's not a bad option for kocho to consider. Can you get pedals that suit both style of clips at all do you know?

Ultegra F&R Derailleur for free? You serious? That's killer!
