A swing- AND A HIT!!!!!

Bought the bike today. Zokes in A+++ shape. XT/XTR build. Hydraulic rear disc brake. Cable disc front (perfect for a kid not to have too much "power" in the front). This was pretty much a top of the line circa 2004 mtb race bike with some urban upgrades.

Got it home, cut a spare seatpost down to sit flush, dropped a low profile seat on it, changed stem from 130mm to 90mm (it still needs to be shorter), pulled the controls/brakes/grips inboard to her previous bar width. I didn't even GET a chance to switch out the 175mm cranks to 170mm.

She hopped on, rode off and won't come home. Kid won't stop grinning. Neither can I. She dubbed thee "Big Wheels"
