That looks fantastic. Wonders if anyone’s got one of those frames in a large. The misses is starting to notice the rust on her Trek, a 9900 would be a good basis for a rebuild .

Re:

Yes!!! I love it. It was a build very similar to this inspired me recently to start this 14" Kona Hot build for my own bike mad youngest. He's a long way off being big enough for it, but I can source decent parts as & when they crop up.

Re:

Good idea on going retro to achieve more bike for the same money!

The frame, although small, looks like it has a very long top tube. Nice touch that the stem is super-short, but I hope your daughter is still not too stretched out.

Nice build next thing you will know is your daughter will become a fully fledged member of RB and asking for an increase in pocket money.

might just be the photos make it look long, but it measures within 1 cm of the Islabike Creig bikes which was a nice accident (wasnt planned)
