Candice's Geared Gen 2 Trailstar

Picked up the frame and some other bits on the cheap off Trademe.
After selling the cranks it came with the frame only ended up costing me $120.
The old Trailstar decals were rough, so I removed them and applied some new DMR decals.

The frame looks awesome in silver a real treat to behold.
Different to the Gen 1 frame this frame has a BMX style bottom bracket so it came with wondercups installed meaning a Mountainbike Bottom bracket can be used.
Frame was built up with a collection of parts I had and purchased on the cheap. Some Rockshox Revalation forks which I reduced to 100mm travel (thess bikes feel so good with only 100mm up front). X9/PG970 drive, YD-open brakes and various other bits.

Ended up having to install a bolt through axle on the rear hub as the rear wheel kept slipping when the brakes were pulled, all is sweet now.
