So my son ( age 11 ) bought an old emmelle full suss bike for £8.
He asked if we could modify it!
So we did.
Here it is.

To be fair, the head angle makes more sense on yours and your colour coding is exquisite
Get him a full face asap.
Hahaha
I was actually being deadly serious.
What kind of rides will he be using it on or is it a project for mucking around on up and down the roads?
🙂
Just riding around the house, he always wears a helmet.
That's a very feminine bike for a 11 year old boy. Just saying like.
Jhj, did you ride that at the mega, I ask as there was an identical one this year ....
😯 For once hopeychondriact is speaking some sense. I'd not be having my son ride around on that, house, helmet or otherwise. It's a ripped off head tube waiting to happen.
You even spent on stickers?
What do you mean for once, I am the oh so wise man.
got dental ?

knew id seen it before - i see you fitted the drive train and paint/decals now.
Very pink for a boy, are they Marzocchi Bumbder forks? 🙂
unless the little is really shredding the gnar I'd be more worried about lack of brakes than breaking the bike.It's a ripped off head tube waiting to happen.

Superb 😆
No way my lad would've had pink on his bike. I guess the OP's is very secure in his sexuality for an 11 year old 😉
I'm guessing that the bike is just a fun project, that would be tiny for an 11 year old.
The Bighits remind me of SDH days, seem to remember 'Gonch' used to ride something very similar.
Its okay for real men to have 'Magenta' on a Santa Cruz Bronson though eh? 😀
razoroo -i think that is gonches bike !

Ah the heyday of [s]SDH[/s] [i]ride.io[/i].... King Gonch's mental huck bikes.
Sadly, I think he's retired from MTB due to some serious medical issue? Sure I saw a thread on SDH about it, posted by his wife/girlfriend.

yeah there was a kick starter for him to get a wheelchair bike.
it was sad.
valves/logos 🙄
otherwise 😀
My wee boy quite often picks out pink stuff. He seems to like the colour.
I like it because I get to laugh at the closet cases looking uncomfortable and trying to make jokes to cover their squirming.
Awesome bike 🙂
We did think would pink work, we usualy pick the usual colours.
One rear brake.
This is very small for an 11 year old but used for fun.
Needs a dropper! 😉
