so after all these years mrs gnusmas decided to finally come mtbing with me (on a friends bike) and she has been bitten by the bug, so this is her first build 🙂

she would like to know what the general opinion is of her bike.
upgrades to come as we find them:

xt wheelset (or white rimmed wheels)
white forks
black lock on grips
layback seatpost (which she needs lol)

Nice, I like konas not superbling but ride nice
I'd get a fox shock if it hasn't got one already, (I can't tell on those small pics) an rp2 would work wonders,

Can't see what brakes you got, so still going to say,If oyur wife anything like my G/F who has small hands, a good set of brakes that STILL works with the reach/lever close to the bars.
She likes Magura and shimano. but get her to try soem others.

no it aint got a fox shock, a rockshox bar shock, hadn't thought of this to upgrade yet.
it has ltd edition deore brakes (they are white) so automatically brake better and makes the bike go faster – coz they are white 🙂
