Daughters first real bike

[nakchak]

Just built this for under £75, it's an '03 kona scrap I got for free, cobbled together with bits box bits (have loads of juicy 3 levers and calipers I don't remember buying but managed to get a working pair together), got a bargain pair of marzocchi mx comp '03 off ebay for 30 quid or so and a new fsa headset (only bit which isn't period), the rear mech is actually the mech which came with my kona nunu I've posted in a different thread, 27year old bit of kit still working perfectly, love to see a modern fancy electric mech working in 5 years time let alone over quarter of a century later

Rant aside I'm somewhat jealous of her first real bike!

I did similar with my two Daughters. First one I put togther was a 14" cindercone that I let my eldest choose the colour of for a fresh powder coat, second one as she out grew it was a 16" explosif with the cindercone being passed down to the younger daughter. They both turned out way better than what I could have bought in my local bike shop and their friends were amazed at how light they were
