I'll probably leave it pretty much as is for now. I will get new grips, because white grips don't stay white for long, and maybe a dropper post.

That looks groovy. I'm really loving my steel eccentric: fun, cool and sophisticated

It's a zippy lil' thing! I took it for a ride at The Hill in Geelong yesterday. It flies through the berms down the bottom, with just a touch of rear brake before the last one because I'm not fully used to the bike yet. I'll be converting to tubeless, though; Pinchflat Garden (that nasty rock garden at the bottom) claimed another victim at the end of my last lap.
