Thanks for all the positive comments. Made it worthwhile sharing it with you guys.
As for what I am riding - Fisher Celerity in french blue. Girvin Flexstem, 3ttt extreme bars, club roost 'clear' grips, gripshift (the original version) vanguard brake levers, deore dx low profile canti's, sharksfin (deore xt lol) flite saddle and an onza porcupine sticker on the top tube
Going to raid the Supercal for parts soon - Manitou 2's, Club Roost bars, Onza bar ends, etc and then do some mixing and matching.
Good to hear you've come back and enjoyed your first ride.Trouble is you'll probably suffer 'rear-end-bruising' when you try to sit on the saddle next time! However, keep persevering, it'll go away after a few rides.
