That's turned out really nice! What graphics have you put on it? Are you still gonna use it as a hack bike?0

You've done a nice job. I turned my MY 2000 rockhopper comp singlespeed and love it!0

I actually prefered the original colour I think chap, but it does look neater, a LOT neater now.
What forks are they? If its mainly going to be a hack/commute then I would be tempeted to go rigid.0 -

the original paintwork was in a bit of a state.
not sure what forks they are. there was no graphics etc on them. will probably go rigid before the winter. i just tidied up what was there for the moment. wanted to spend as little as possible0 -
Fair enough, there did seem some pretty big chips on it, especially in second photo above the "S".
If you find the forks arent working out and want to keep some bounce, I would scan ebay or put a wanted ad up for some toras. Simple and effective, if a little heavy, but do a good job and really cheap (can buy new for £100).0
