and it’s an 18 so will fit me too !!!

He’s shooting up in height rapidly, at just under 15 yrs age, so catching up his old dad at a pace. He’s just about 5 ft 9 so will pass me, at 5’10” in the next year for sure.

Full XT group, nice and light, good overall spec, he’s a lucky boy 🙂

Nice bike.
Sadly he’s now restricted to only riding it with dad as none of his mates will want to be seen near a front mech. 😛

Very handy that it fits you – that must be a dad thing, as mine keeps ‘borrowing’ one of my bikes too!

^^^^ I deliberated on a 1x, but he’s still growing in strength and we do some big hills – he needed the granny on his Cube Acid on Burma Rd the other week 🙂

this one is 2×11 XT so pretty decent. He rides with Glasgow Riderz and likes to keep up !

Quite right – young riders shouldn’t be slogging, they should be spinning so don’t be afraid to give him a wide range of gears to allow him to do this.

Nice bike, BTW 🙂
