My 7 yeah old daughter wanted a new bike, but all of the good bikes were in colours she wasn’t interested in and there was no way I was going to buy her a pretty but heavy, crap bike from a toy shop. I asked what colour she wanted and she told me “not shiny metallic purple and blue” and (surprisingly) I couldn’t find that. 🤣

So I bought a rough Orbea MX24 and set about stripping and rebuilding it into something she would like.

I asked a lot of technical questions on here and you nice folk were kind enough to help me understand how to set it up properly.

Well, she loves it!

Thanks a lot to everyone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
