Commuterfication

With the sportive out of the way my thoughts turn to making the bike fully ready for commuting.  Top of that list is a rack, for which the most appealing choice is the titanium Tubus Airy.  It's a small rack so has limited heel clearance but that shouldn't be a problem for me as my pannier is set up with very offset clips to cope with the limited clearance on the Airnimal.  For once the rack weighs exactly what was claimed of it - 230g plus another 120g or so for the bolts and mounting arms.

Next up was a rear light.  On my other bikes I have the lamp+reflector integrated into the rack.  On the Airy it is a little harder to mount a light, so instead I've gone for a seatpost mounted one.  In this case a NiteRider CherryBomb.  At half a watt it is pretty bright, has a good beam spread (blinding direct on) and has a built in reflector.
