The bicycle has scratches and signs of wear, but the mechanical parts are in good, working condition. The bicycle was a gift for my son at about 8 years old and was used occasionally in the garden; at about 11 years old, it was modified by changing the rear fork and replacing the mechanical disc brakes with hydraulic disc brakes. From that moment on, it was used for DH for about two weeks a year. It is now being replaced due to moving to a larger bicycle. Perfect for kids starting out in DH up to 150 cm, very light and safe.
