Yeah, the tape was too wild for my little one, so sadly it has gone down the history trail. In a funky kind of way I thought it was somewhat cool. The tape is now a light blue that almost matches the Raleigh decal. She is much happier now and therefore I am as well ...

This bike was only in fair condition, but is now in extremely good, if not great shape. I don't know who put the tape, saddle and tires on it but obviously somebody wanted to bring it back from the dead before I got it. The tires are so new they still have the flashing on them. They must have no mileage as far as I can tell.

We both ordered new helmets which should be here sometime later this week. Then it is off for our first ride together and I will be very pleased to introduce her to the joys of riding for pleasure. The best part is that in a year she will be in college and she can take her bike with her.
