My daughter is growing and I've been looking at sorting a new to her bike. I'm looking at second hand frames as I can't afford a new one. Ideally would need to be a small 27.5 boost frame, but we're open to anything and up to a full bike depending on price. In her words the purpler the better, although that's not a necessity lol. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Got a Trek full sus  frame and forks, see link for description. 14" frame.

26" non boost, does have some purple accents though. Mainly black/white.

Not in bad nick considering age.

Drop me a message and I'll forward a couple of pics.

There have been several brand X frames in the classifieds, not boost but I think some had wheels as well.

Or daughter rides an XS Trek Roscoe, as do a fair few of her bike club pals. It's not the lightest, but it's a very capable, robust wee bike.

The rear axle is boost QR, so not terribly common, I'm not sure if new ones are the same.

Boost qr is annoying but should not be an issue. Plenty of adaptable hubs can handle it (DT, hope etc) it's just qr end caps in a boost width hub shell.

gnusmas, forgot to say the F&F are free, just postage costs if you can't pick up.  Might have the original wheels somewhere as well.
