Wanted : A decent bike for my 12 year old son.

Anyone got a decent bike for my 12 year old lad ? :?

Is it a straight swap or is there cash either way?

It could be either, He currently rides a Giant with 24" wheels, I was looking for a bike with a 12" - 15" frame, 24" or maybe 26" wheels.
I am looking for a lightweight bike if possible.
What has anyone got ?

Hi,

I have a specialized hardrock sport from 2006

it is 16 inch but quite a small frame so might be ok...

I currently am advertising it on gumtree brighton..

here is the link

still got the hard rock in 17" frame and forks - £20 and I can drop it by yours when I'm next passing?

 

[doogie]

Sorry Ed but that frame is going to be toooo big for him.
He is actually age 11 at the moment, he will turn 12 in May.
A 12" to 15" framed bike will be best I think.
I have still got that Specialized Rockhopper frame that I got from you, I have stripped it down to bare metal and was going to get it powdercoated.
But by the time I have had this done and had to get everything to build it up it will probably to easier to buy one built up.

ah yes - but not as much fun or satisfaction

Let him have a new bike, poor little sod

Small Frame

Ian,

I have a GT 12.5" Frame mate if your interested, yours for £50 or a little less and a coffee/beer if you want to collect mate.

Cheers
