Some pics of the bike after a clean, bear in mind it was a quick Muck-Off and rinse, nothing has been polished, it looks a bit more MTB without all the commuter kit.
Everything from the frame to the tyres is in exceptional condition. I'm going to leave the v-brakes for now as they are working perfectly, although I really don't like the way they look on this bike, the saddle is a repro and just a placeholder but the post is the original.
After a week of commuting I've really got to know the bike and have come to some conclusions - The crank arms are 170s, all my other bikes have been and are 175s, I didn't think the difference would be that noticeable, however it is and so I'll have to replace them with 175s.
The tyres look like new, I'm not familiar with this model (Schwalbe Scouts) but they have an old school look about them, I have to assume they've been on the bike for years judging by the fact that they were completely flat when the bike arrived but have held air perfectly all week, that air loss must have been the result of air molecules slowly migrating through the tube and tyre walls.
It will be a much better rider with drop bars imo, it has a short top tube so that'll provide a more comfortable arm extension, apart from that, the brakes and the crank arms there really isn't much else that needs doing.
Next time I post it'll be in full off road touring mode.
