I got my bicycle on Monday and had the chance to take some pictures today.

There are a few problems with it, namely the gear shifters (early Shimano triger shifters) aren't as reliable as I'd like (shifting down is a bit problematic) and the rear wheel today slipped out of place whilst I was riding it. I stayed on my bike but until I can get a spanner (Thursday) to sort out the rear wheel the bike is unusable.
Other than that it's pretty solid. The saddle is a little painful to sit on and I'd prefer to replace the shocks with straight forks, but I'll get to that later.
