My daughter's new trail rig... it came with grip shifters (crap), Altus cantis (absolute crap), an Altus rear d which was ok, and some really heavy Kenda tyres.

Now...

Deore 7 speed thumbies and Deore V brake levers... from my tickle trunk.



Tektro V brakes I got from the gear swap for $5.00...



Deore rear d I got at the gear swap for $5.00...



Lock on grips from the tickle trunk...



Also fitted Tioga folding XC tyres...





She gave away both of her 24 inch wheeled mountain bikes to younger cousins since she has outgrown them... and they were pretty tricked out since nothing is too good for a mechanic's daughter.

I think she will really like the new rig when she sees it and am sure I have a Terry leather saddle stashed away somewhere for her...
