With help from the bargains on STW and the shed Junior C has a new bike, cheeky blighter said "now you have some time off dad cos you had a heart attack perhaps you will finish my bike"

Loving the shimano disc brakes, how easy are they to bleed or what, took about 10 minutes, I know there is plenty of stem spacers but forks can be utilised on next frame if not cut off

Nice - I'm sure he'll have a fab time on it! (unless his dad changes his mind and nicks his forks back!! ๐Ÿ˜€ )

Snap, just like my 10 year old's. Brilliant bikes with excellent stand over height which encourages confidence. My lad loves his. I also didnt want to shorten the steerer on the forks but compromised by lowering the stem in between the stack.

I know the fence wants painting and the tyre / valve etc. ๐Ÿ˜†

My shortarse wife has one of the 14" Inbreds as well (in Barry White glitter finish), although it's currently set-up as a commuter rather than for off-road:

They're great little frames.

What size is that frame? How tall is your lad? My lad is just about ready for a 26 wheeler.

Get well soon Candodavid.

I love my 14" on one. I call it the mini mountain goat.
