There was a thread a while back pointing to a decent spec small hardtail frame but I’m not having much joy searching for it. Can anyone point me to the thread or suggest a small cheapish hardtail frame and who has got a good deal on them?

Can anyone help?

Ragley do Blue Pigs and Piglets in 14″

Cheers SOM but I wad looking for something a little less spendy.
There was a thread a while back about building up a kids small bike and someone posted a link to a small hardtail, but I’ve lost the link.

One one inbred?

Cube Attention from Bike Discount.de

Not the on one either.
I’ll keep looking.a
It was something like a cube if I remember correctly

Another forumite bought one of the cube frames,and is well pleased with it. Currently being built up for the new 10 year old owner.

Orange Crush – the old 26 inch versions have a very short hop tube, my lad rides ones. Great small bike.

Literally just finished this. Frame as referenced above by Simon – really nice looking/feeling frame. 14″ weighed in at 1750g, complete bike just under 12kg and budget a bit under Islabikes Creag (with some bits out the garage).
First ride soon. Son is 9 and about 145m tall.

That cube is the one, cheers chaps.

Now that’s a good idea:-)

So my daughter and I finally decided to buy a Cube Attention frame but the small sizes are now all gone :-/

the only issue I had when building one was I had to wind the brake levers in so much that they touched the handlebars before biting.
