I’ve just upgraded my old MTB to a 29er, and thought about handing down my old one to the Mrs.
I tried her on it as it is, but its too big and she bangs her vag on the top tube.
I built the bike in around 2011 from a bike I bought on ebay and rebuilt on a frame that fitted.
17″ seat tube ‘Soul Brother’ alloy frame
27 speed LX groupset inc discs
26″ Mavic XC717 rims handbuilt onto LX rims by Merlin
Raceface finishing kit
Rock Shox Reba forks with remote lock out.
She currently rides a heavy Giant Yukon which is womens specific in size XS, which IMO is too small but she doesnt know how much nicer better bikes are. Will only ride it when we go out with the kids, but she’ll be struggling to keep up with them soon!
Should I;
A) buy a smaller frame and transfer it over, and flog her Yukon, any idea where to look for frames?
B) sell my old bike in one piece – how much is it worth?
C) sell my old bike in bits – again how much is it worth?
Thanks!
