My 11yr old daughter is now riding a small Specialized Camber that I was fortunate enough to get second hand.
It is nice and light and she loves it. She was on a 650b Islabike Bheinn with enduro tyres fitted but it was getting a handful for her on drops and rough trails plus the rim brakes were struggling. It was great to get her started though on smooth trails.

Unbelievably I've managed to pick up an absolute bargain!

Brand new (once ridden) lockdown 1 purchase - A Lapierre Edge AM 727 - £900quids worth of bike for a song....

Just put some Rockshox Revs, Stans Arch MK3 Tubless wheels and a carbon Rethanal bar on and it's an absolute trail monster!

Fantastic bike! Hight recommend one!

My son is also 5ft. too small for a small adult bike. He has a Trek Roscoe, its actually the woman version with the shorter reach. You wouldn't know it, no 'feminine' colours. its a perfect fit.
