Hello and what should I do with my Stumpy?

[firedfromthecircus]

New guy here been enjoying lurking on the forum for a couple of days and thought it was about time I said hello.
Also after some advice on what to do with my 1997 Stumpjumper M2. Decided to retire it as the forks are shot and it needs a couple of bob spent on it to make it a decent trail hack again, so a new bike has just arrived. (2010 Kona Blink in case you're asking.)
What to do with the old girl though? I bought it new in '97 and it has more value to me for sentimental reasons than I could get if I sold it, so do I hide it in the loft, turn it into a single/fixie, or try to persuade my wife it would be a nice piece of art on the wall?
I already have a flat barred road bike so no point putting it in road trim.
What d'ya reckon?
Cheers.

Single speed sounds like a good plan to me you've got your MTB and roadie bike so why not just a fun bike

Single speed is the way forward for winter riding. I will be building mine up next week. Can't wait to get out on it. Rigid, canti and one bipoace gear in Marin frame.

SS or throw some slicks on it for bar bike/grocery getter.
