So my kid has learned to ride a bike (first grandkid, and has been super excited about it), and coincidentally my mother has a renewed interest in riding her bike. Awesome!
After one ride, she kind of started hinting that she wished the bars were higher, shifting worked better, and brakes worked at all. A better son may have understood this as a request for a new bike for Christmas, but my mind went directly to "hey that 1997 hardrock you've been riding for 17 years is actually great base…"
Fast forward a few weeks and here it is. How'd I do??

I want to ride it!!! That color is perfect too.
Your moms got some long legs!
Looks really good! Nice work!
If the bike fits her then just getting it fully functional will be a big upgrade! Aesthetically I do wish the tire walls matched, but getting her brakes actually functional again was definitely more important
