Wow!, Great job!. That bike looks almost unused. Where's it been?

How did she like it? Does she like the seat?

A word of caution - the stem looks to be raised too high out of the steering tube. I had one break off in my hands once because it was too high. This happened while riding in traffic. <-- bad juju, that.

Either lower it down or get your mom an especially made tall stem. I think VO and others have them.
