Enjoy, Perkles. It certainly seems to be as good as January can be for biking, weatherwise.

Don't be f**k about taking pictures, get out & "make hay,,," -this is the loveliest morning for a ride that I can remember for months, and it's not even been cold enough for the salt spreaders for ages.

That is a lovely looking machine.

Get yourself down to machine mart and buy a roll of the rubber matting. It will cover the whole floor with a bit of luck. Painting never works as warm tyres lift the paint. The rubber matting also makes the floor less cold in winter.
