OK Folks
Almost 48 hrs gone without a smoke. Few more days, then I'll be done with it..
Many many thanks, for support and encouragement it really helps.
My son and I, today did a mini tour around the neighborhood. According to google maps its about 5 miles. It took me (I am the slowest guy obviously) about 40 - 45 mins to complete the tour. I can feel the damages of smoking, especially when climbing.
Anyways, I know myself, I'll just keep on pushing and pushing.
So, Now the fun part.
Here are the pictures of the bike

The bike rides very smoothly. I think it has the upgraded components. Only thing I noticed is that the derailleur needs adjustment as coming down from 8 to 1 it wants to stay at 5 or 6 for a while and then jump to the next smaller gear. Going up the gears there is no problem it is very smooth.
I have seen some tutorials on the web if it is an adjustment problem I am sure I can tackle it. I have the tools and I maintain and tune up my cars etc.
Otherwise, I'll take it to the local bike shop.
In a nutshell I am very happy with the bike, cant wait to ride it again.
Comments appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
