My bike now:
The bike is much dirtier than this picture suggests. Much much much dirtier - in fact it still has greasy finger marks from when the new bottom bracket was fitted : ). I was going to take the decals off but I can't bring myself to do it! Next purchase will probably be a new seat. In blue maybe?
I'm well proud of this bike, as i'm not exactly experienced in the whole cycling malarky, and i've definitely never put a bike together before. Before i got this bike I hadn't really ridden in an urban environment at all, so getting a single speed and riding in london was a bit of a baptism of fire! I love it though. Planning more work when i go back to Newcastle for the summer, thinking of using it on a 140 mile trip over the pennines with some friends. Stress 'thinking' in that sentence. ;)
