... just needed some air in the tires, lubrication and a few cable adjustments - got to lookin' at this thing - hey, not a bad bike - not high end components but Shimano at least - don't know what they're sellin' now'days as far as their mid range stuff goes but we'll definitely find out - figured that they always had more of a problem with us than vice-versa, anyway - don't know nothin' about the 'RST' front shocks as well, we'd prefer 'Rock Shocks' - but we've busted up a lot (supposedly) better stuff - and the (light weight per our standards) frame looks solid as hell - all that matters anyway - we can fix/upgrade all else... so we decided to "soup it up" a bit for her - that's it above after our modifications - got rid of the "stock" (don't know why we talk like that) big, giant "gran-ma" (there we go again) pedals and replaced 'em with some steel MTB Sport pedals - added some bar ends which she's gonna' need for a few hill climbs we can't wait to get 'er on...
... replaced the stock knobs with a 'Tioga Psycho Genius 2.30' on the rear...
... and a 'WTB Velociraptor 2.1' on the front - have experience beatin' up a 'Gary Fisher' the past year or two with a similar set up and have no complaints...
... finished product - should do 'er well...
