I will definitely strip the frame at some point. I probably need to have more of my bikes on the road though, before taking this one off.
Still not sure about the decals, as I'm concerned it might make people more keen on trying to steal it.
I found out the downside of the slim tyres/tubes out riding on Sunday, when a concealed curb in the cycle path burst both the tubes. On the plus side, I didn't find any hills in the 30 mile ride that I couldn't make it up, so definitely might try a 44T chainring on the front.
