Thought I'd post up a picture of it's current state:
A few things have changed;
stem from cinelli 2a > 1a (thanks to hilly ben)
bars from pista > crits (2a and pista drops was way too steep)
saddle from unicanitor > rolls (the rolls is waterproof not stupidly expensive)
pedals from pista / clips and straps > keos (so I can use the same shoes as for my road bike)
gearing upped from 51x16 (86.1") to 46x14 (88.7")... but i might try 49x15 (88.2") or more likely 52x16 (87.8") next, as 88.7" is a bit of a grind on the longer sessions at the moment. (might just be my legs, mind)
new bearings in the rear hub. it started making a hideous cracking sound last monday and i had to pull out and get a hire bike. one of the bearings had pretty much fallen to bits in there... it's all running smoothly now though, thankfully.
So there you have it.
It's getting used once or twice a week, and I'm having a great time.
