my youngest has raced the scottish cross season this year and really wants a cross bike for her birthday in a couple of weeks.
Now, she will be 7 and rides a 20" wheel MTB.
Are there cross bikes that small?
And is there a second hand market for them?
I'm struggling to find any, except the expensive, new, 24" wheel islas
nice, but I can't splash £400 on something that might be outgrown in a year.
anyone got a used Frog?
Riders of an age or height that are on 24-26 size bikes tend to only just at the size where they can operate STIs, even the small Microsoft versions. May be worth a try before you buy.
Second hand rigid 20" mtb and put drop bars on? Would that even work?
Buy a used 24" mtb such as a Kona Hula, swap the bars and shifters for road, old Sora with side buttons works for small hands, then change the tyres.
