@robertAJB
thanks for the encouragement guys. Did my first ride into work this morning, loved it ! :D
The skyward bars are a preferance as i like the concept of bull-bars but not so much the looks, by tilting my drop-bars back a bit, i'm sort of cheating em a bit.
The wheels are indeed, those 50 quid jobs off ebay. Shimano 500 somethingorother
As for the tyres, sadly I couldnt afford another bontranger for the front. I've just sold some stuff on ebay though so will get down to the blb as soon as poss to fit out the front.. good advice that, i hadnt considered the front/rear grip balance.
