This much exposed seatpost always makes me a bit uneasy, but I love it! 😁

Seat and seatpost can double as a golf club, super clever!

Truthfully one of the craziest post heights I’ve ever seen.

Coincidence: I’ve been working on a similar 24-in project myself. I’m using a $50 eBay aluminum fork that I already had. Got a 450mm seat post from Amazon (95mm in the seat tube). And a 165mm Prowheel crank. I need another wheel set so I can use disc brakes.
So, today I tried to buy a GT Lola on Marketplace. The guy wanted $250 so I said I’ll just have to wait till I find one at the thrift shop for $50.
Oh, and I have a 7/8 inch oak dowel secured inside the seat post for extra bend protection.

Minivelo XL / too washed up for BMX / city bike spare parts build.
GT Lola 24″
Previous owner did a Suntour XCR air fork + Tektro hyrdo brakes (for their literal child).
I did:
* Seatpost: 600mm (lol) eBay generic
* Bars: Cannondale Cruise Control 740mm
* Stem: DMR Defy
* Cranks: Box Five 150mm cranks + 38t chainring
* Pedals: OneUp Alu.

For what it’s worth, my 9 year old loves her stock Lola, but thinks yours is extra cool. You just made her night.
This is unhinged behavior
A great deal is not a deal if it doesn’t fit. But whatever, have fun, it’s x biking.
Do you have a tween daughter?
Wheels are too big, but still perfect for Mini Bike Winter ⚙️❄️
