She wants to make it a bit more girlie, I guess we'll have to see. As for the shock its got no rebound adjustment and its a really quick rebound, I think a nice fox rp3 rl shock would make it a nicer ride. She loves full sus tho, she cycles to work and back everyday on her Scott which is a 16mile round trip come rain or shine. When I met her 5years ago she hadn't ridden a bike for over 15 years!!!
