Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads As you can see it's a small size, and I'm 6,1. So I was thinking on grabbing the components for another build and mount something with bmx bars to fit my gf size, 5,7 by Ashamed_Difficulty51 Adventure biking Adventure on a bike Bicycling Biking Cycling xbiking

Regular BMX bars might be kinda high riding for a 5’7 rider, check out Surly Sunrise or something similar. The suspension fork could be restored/rebuilt, or a rigid fork would be an easy swap for simplicity. New consumables (tires/pads/cables/grips) and call it a day. Konas are great bikes

DrMabuseKafe on August 10, 2024 10:32 am Drop bar plus 120 mm stem may fit you. Yellow tape and matching saddle. Microshift 3*8 brifters. Tanwall 2’25 slick tyres. Here you go. EDIT: microshift not microsoft LOL
