End of day 2 - the bike not finished yet, but I took it for a quick spin, to figure out my position and test everything. The initial thoughts were that it's fast, very fast - compared to my aluminium road bike!

A (mobile phone) photo of the finished bike. Not completely colour-coordinated, due to a change of heart about the pink graphics earlier on and I've had an intention of getting a rear disc wheel, so I hadn't put the gold stickers on the rear wheel. Anyhow, that's it - time to start riding it now!
