As the Mrs went out last night I decided to give my Stumpy a clean and fit some new parts to make the cockpit more upright (need to reduce the pressure on my shoulder following surgery.
Thomsom straight seatpost, Easton E70 high riser bars (plus a new BelAir saddle and XT chainset for good measure).

Hopefully the doctors will give me the go ahead to start riding again in the next 6 weeks! Busting to get out and ride it!!!

    Cheers for the nice comments :D
    I think it's going to be weird to ride it with such a short , narrow cockpit. But if that's the only way I'll have to accept the compromise.
    I noticed the grips are really worn so I'm either going to order a set of Superstar grips or get another pair of Ruffians. Should I get more black or go for red or white? (I'm becoming a real tart :lol: ).

    Nice.

    As a very tartish reply - you could get away with white grips with red ano lock ons.
    I've had some bontrager ones before and the white was quite easy to keep clean.
