You can't tell everything from that one overall pic. Shifter cable housings were badly disintegrated for one thing, and tires were shot.
Some items were optional and were upgrades I did for my daughter. I certainly could have come in with spending less, but the objective here was not to do it the cheapest way possible. It was unrideable as it was, though. But good bones. And pink.
