Well just as I thought the pump track has progressed my oldest riding skills and in response I got her a new frame. 13.5" dakar . Now shes rocking 5"x5" and soon will be ready for somo action.Once she gets a handle on that I will upgrade the rest of the cheaper parts with the good stuff. Went for the first ride on it today at hawes and she was loving it.

Thx! She digs it so thats what counts . As for the stem theres a 50mm sunline on it now. You got something shorter lik a 35mm?

Nice, it's a mini-me version of my 21" Dakar. She's a lucky little girl. Awesome!

Thx I can only imagine how big that would look next to hers . Just weighed it and its at 33.2lbs. With some good parts I should be able to get it down to 28 ish easy.
