MCJnr is now 5'5" and on the cheapest 26" wheeled Rockrider. Despite a growing [s]teenage[/s] 12 year olds ennui with anything connected to effort, his riding is starting to come on a bit in speed and confidence.
I'm about to strip and upgrade my Soul, leaving me with a stock of old but working shiny bits which would just need a frame and some brakes to build him up something quite a bit lighter, and was wondering about tracking down a second hand Inbred frame. This might also give us a bit of dad/lad time which may be beneficial to both of us, I suspect.
I imagine he's in between the 14" and 16" frame sizes. With the longer top tube, my initial thought is to get him the 14" as the Rockrider is quite "sit up and beg"
Any experiences?
Go by the inside leg guide on PX. My mate's lad is going from a 24" wheeled something to a 16" S inbred.
That frame + Reba for £299 is a good deal!
What's his inside leg? I'm 5'6 (and fully grown 😀 ) with an inside leg of 30".
I've got a 16" Inbred & reckon it's about right. I'd have thought if you get him a 14" he's likely to be too small for it before long.
What he said ^^
agree with stumpy I'm 5'6 and a bit have both sizes and the 14 really is too small but fun If you could source a 16" scandal would be better, same but lighter
Good job I asked then....
Thanks guys
if you get him a 14" he's likely to be too small for it before long
Is he Benjamin Button?
Im 5`6 and ride a 16 inbred, just sold an immaculate 16 scandal as well !
i do have a new 17" voodoo wanga in the box if interested ? .. partly built then stripped ... need gone asap
