It's a great bike, I love it. Despite it being a cheap (and now quite old) OTP, it would take something pretty special to replace it. It rides great.
I think I will give it a coat or two of paint as I'd like to get rid of the skulls and the splodge. I tried gently wet sanding with 2500 grit wet & dry on the areas of silver paint that I wanted to remove but the paint is really thin and it went through to the metal too easily. Thankfully, the matt finish shouldn't need too much prep before painting.
It's not getting S-Works stickers - I think pretending it's an S-Works is a step too far! I am looking at getting some new decals though now a respray is in the pipeline.
