My niece has outgrown her 24" hunk o' junk and I'm keeping eye out and a hand out for a sweet deal on a decent (to encourage an enjoyment of the sport) hardtail.

Probably a small frame. Doesn't need the awesome-est of everything but a not buggered 2x(8,9 blahblahblah) drivetrain, hydraulic brakes, and a good set of pedals would be appreciated... if any of y'all sexy bastard/ettes has one not getting used on the bottom of the pile of your many fancy bikes, hit me up. I'll take it off your hands for as little as possible!

Cheers all!
