Wash. Flite saddle. Get it dirty again
I call it ugly because as soon as I saw it at the shop I rushed home to Google it, there are some stunning examples (which don't look like mine).
Besides it is ugly next to my hardtail.
I am looking forward to getting out on it but I can't help thinking that this bike could be some hassle. Some parts look like they could be quite hard to find if something goes wrong, I also need to stop the cables from eating anymore frame.

If there wasn't such a thing as cable rub there wouldn't be 100's of listing on ebay for frame protector kits ranging from carbon finish to Sponge Bob Squarepants!
+1 for quite happily riding it as it is; well, if I were fitter!

Must admit I'm not impressed with your LBS - what kinda shop won't even fit in a service on a bike they've just sold?

No self-respecting mechanic would hand a bike over to the new owner before he made sure everything works properly.
Looks like a nice bike, although he speclist made me raise an eyebrow more than once. There's a lot of unknown parts in there.
A good cleaning, some new cables and a proper tune-up, and it should be good to go. Or at least good enough for a proper test drive so you can assess the state of the forks, shock and bushings.
Welcome, by the way.
