20" Muni for 8 year old

I just finished cutting down a 20" UDC Trainer uni to fit my 8 year old. I had to cut off 4" from the seat tube and the seat post. Drilled a hole at the top of the seat tube and cut a slot with my dremel. Then I replaced the standard tire with an off road tire that I picked up at my local Benny's store. Here's the results.

What a nice project and, from the photo, excellent results. In scale it looks like a MUni. Do you two ride together frequently?

I did the same for my son when he was eight, he now has his own 20" Nimbus Club freestyle with a green tyre to match the green frame.

Thanks, we do ride together out in front of the house. He on his 16" Torker and me on my 24". We're both looking forward to riding in the woods together.
