I had an idea to take a 42cm Wabi intended for 650c wheels and build it with 26” wheels for some nicer tire choices and to fit my 10 year old daughter. I found a used frame and let her guide the aesthetic choices. She also helped with all of the assembly including lacing a wheel and doing the initial true. Super happy with the results and she loves it. A mix of refurbished used parts, some new premium parts, and new budget parts. 16.9 pounds as it you see it.
