So she started with a new fuel pump but now I know that I am going to have to change a water pump. And a shifter. And a shifter seal.

The water pump is a fun job... I believe the PO used tap water in mine. I had to bust out some CLR cleaner to get out all the calcium build up. Fun. Fun.

Nice look, but you might find the ~25mm front suspension travel problematic. Depending on your riding style, the "problem" could range from anywhere between annoying to downright dangerous.
