Used to sell drugs, now he just takes them
So, I've had this a little bit now and finally got it most of the way to where I want it. The biggest outstanding item is the bars which are a bit too narrow for my liking at the moment, having cut them down a long time ago to a bit over 600mm.

The saddle is just something that's followed me through the last 3 bikes and won't die. It does the trick and it's comfortable, so it's stayed. It did come off for a good few years when I put something else on, but when that died I just put the original back on the bike. It is starting to show its age though, so it's days are probably numbered.
Coming from my previous bike, an '05 Reign 1, this thing goes like a bat out of hell & I'm loving it!
