Full suss project for my lad
Discussion
So number 3 daughter had outgrown her 24" bike, been looking for something bigger for ages. Picked this up on Saturday for £90 which I was pleased with... have now spent £150 on stuff to upgrade it Disc wheels, brakes, new tyres and gears. I will keep my eyes open for some air forks at some point or if I can get a softer spring for these it would be ok for now.
It's taken months to get something either upgraded already or with the potential to upgrade without spending too much on the base bike. This has spent most of it's life sat in a shed I reckon, a few storage chips and perished almost new tyres. Guy selling was a bit gutted as he was hoping for more - they typically seem to sell for 140ish. Lots of weight sat in that chainset, unforturately she wants to keep those gears.

Hi, could the original poster or anyone who bought the little rear shock on this thread let me know how the shock worked out please
Bit late but it worked just fine until he got bigger! Picked up a second hand 165mm Rockshox one for it now which works well. 5 Years later and he is still riding it! Now has longer cranks and Maxxis DHF tyres as he kept blowing anything else up!Looking for something else now, most likely a hardtail like the Nukeproof scout
