New bike day – Sophie age 6

@noeffsgiven  already there 🙁

How have I missed this thread? Looks like she’s doing amazing!

The pink and purple bits thing seems to remain consistent as they get older….

Binnerette number 2 absolutely loves the pump track next to the velodrome

@poah Where did you source the forks from? Are they straight steerer 1 1/8?

@trickydisco I got them from starbike and they are tapered with boost spacing.

Thanks. Just a bit confused about specs

When i search for those forks that come on the build they come up as normal 1 1/8?

I put an external headset (purple) on the bike.

Loving this thread.

MiniMonkey V1 (4.5) is currently riding a Wildbike which is surprisingly awesome, but in a couple of years I can definitely see us upgrading to something like this.

Of course I’ll have to get a new bike to keep up…

ah ha. So i guess modern bikes make the headtube that can accommodate multiple fork standards and use headsets to control which type? Looks like the higer end model has a tapered steerer but the base model is straight steerer.

yeah but it it has an external headset at the bottom as well

sophie is sizing up so this will be for sale soon.
