That's about it I think, Ryan of Oak Cycles did a fantastic job on designing the fork and adding the water bottle mount that it doesn't get in the way.
Thing I don't need to carry;
big camera (small one is perfect)
softshell jacket - a rain jacket would be smaller and cooler.
22t cog - never seen use, perfer to have a 20t freewheel.
Thing I would change;
0 degree down sleeping bag, mine isn't down and consquencely isn't that warm despite being able to dry quicker and doesn't smell.
