Very interested in picking this up! As a newbie, I am unable to send direct messages - not sure if poss for you to message me? Love the pink!

The Zig is back in action! Pretty much a full strip down and rebuild over the last month. I haven’t taken the forks apart yet as they seem to be functioning pretty well. Kept things mostly original, with only a couple of parts swapped out, including some Easton Monkeybars to add a bit of rise...
