Will be taking her on her first 'off road' foray next weekend via Rowsley and Coombes Rd to Bakewell.
Seems like a lovely little bike so far - light enough and quality components.

get rid of the bottom pic otherwise Houns will hit on her!
Quality.....Beats my Grifter. Hope all goes well. 😀
Isn't it a bit small or has she had a growth spurt?

Yeah, beats the crap I had when I was a kid too - a Grifter would have seemed like luxury.
It's not even her birthday either - spoiled rotten, maybe - the joys of being an only child I suppose, although it rarely seemed to work in my favour.

Angle of pic is a bit deceptive - I was worried it may be before I built it up, but it's pretty much spot on and there's still some scope for adjustment. It's as big as they come in 24" wheels and a 26"'er would be too big. I doubt it will last much more than 18 months, but it's the same with anything at that age.
I found the same with my boy until I found a 14 inch bent toptube version of a GT Palomar for 40 quid
You have run out of scotch by the way!!
Don't worry - I haven't
(hic)
make sure it is [b]FUN[/b]
Drinking scotch is always fun.
Not only run out of Scotch, but who buys half bottles of the cheap stuff, eh? 😉
Thats because he spent all his money on his daughters new bike!!
That was my missus last night whilst I was away 😯
We drink too much to afford the dear stuff all the time. Jamesons and JD are other favourites - the Prince Consort cheapo is actually quite nice though.
Kona TC - will do
Looks great. I now have three groms here on 24" bikes. A Spesh, a Scott and a Trek. They're tuning in every afternoon to see who wins the Tour stage on "their" bike. Garage now looks like a rather eclectic bike shop. Back above double figures again!
Nice. My little sister has one of them. I ride it round our woods when she's not looking 🙂
Hope she enjoys it!
Oi...I'm not Forky 😡
lol not bad, specialized as well!
They're nice bikes. Just like a mini adults bike unlike some of the cheap ones which are half the size of an adult bike but way at least twice as much!
Give it a year or so and she'll be costing you lots when she wants a bike like yours!
