A super tricked out youth road bike.
I’d suggest suitable from 9 to 13 years old but clearly that depends on how fast your little one is growing.
I used to be on the GB CycloCross squad and as a result, wanted my boy to have a lightweight bike that rides really well. He’s decided he prefers rugby and his mountain bike so this has hardly been used.
The felt frame is a good one. Very stiff.
I’ve put a wide range cassette in the rear..11 to 42t which gives the same range as you’d normally need. With a 38t narrow wide chairing in the front.
A 38 x 42 is super low and very friendly to developing knees. (24 ‘gear inches’ with the 38 x 11 giving 92 gear inches). The bike came with a 260g steel 52 chairing. No nine year-old needs that on a bike!!
Also, there’s a 9 speed Dura Ace on the rear and a 140g USE Alien carbon seat post. Pretty much the lightest post you can get. The saddle is titanium. Tyres are Vittoria.
The stem is a cnc machined work of Art. Can’t remember the brand but is was £95 alone when new.
I intentionally removed the internals of the left hand microshifter to save weight (50g).. so this could not be converted back to a double.
Finally, I’ll provide a 103mm Token hollow BB to reduce the Q factor and save a bit more weight.
All in, a gorgeous and very special kids bike. I’m a bit time poor currently hence not having time to fit all the extra bits. I’ll happily do this for free if you don’t mind waiting a bit longer for this.
Collection from S75 4HR or I can pack really well and post for £19.99.
Cheers Andy.
Current Price: £260.00
