How's the 1x set up treating you? 42x11/28 ok? I JUST finished my cross build and am still using a 46/36 up front but would be really pleased if I could change that for a 1x and maintain my 11x28 in the back. Has the chain popped off yet?

Not dropped the chain yet and I have moved the spring on the rd to the higher tension hole. The single ring works fine for me, I come from a background of riding single speeds so having 11 gears is a bit of a luxury + I live in a reasonably flat part of the world so no mountain climbs etc.
I put 30c challenge slicks on for general summer road miles. According to a gear inch calculator 42-11 at 100rpm tops out at 30ish mph which is plenty fast enough for me, I don't race road just social miles with smiles :)

Thank you everyone else for the compliments

How's the front disc, rear canti combo working out? Any chance you race sscx? Thinking about doing the same.

I use the All City as my winter/rain bike, most of it's life is spent with Gator Skins and full length mudguards. The front disc is great for me in all weathers and inspires confidence.
I use the Felt for road and single track/bridle ways, I can't recommend the Shimano hydro brakes enough, they are so good. I changed to the XTR calipers purely for weight rather than any performance gain as such. The XTR calipers inc pads, fittings etc saved 35-40g an end.
