    Hi all
    I'm looking for an extra small mountain bike for a small teenager. A 13 inch frame on a 26 inch wheel would be ideal or alternatively a good quality 24 inch wheel with a larger frame.
    Must be reasonably priced and leinster area preferably - so if anyone has one that fits the bill lying around that they want to offload let me know
    Thanks

    Not sure on your price limit but this would suit a small light rider XC

    Thanks for the link, will keep it in mind - was hoping to get something second hand here as I need it asap - he has a road bike but now needs a mtb.

    Have now realised that we now need an adult mountain bike 13 -15 inch (teenager growing rapidly). If anyone has one they are looking to get rid of let me know - will consider everything.

    Thanks

    Hi velogirl

    My son has a Giant Acid 15" that he got for Christmas,

    He wants a road bike so we have bought him this. http://www.adverts.ie/bikes/giant-t-mobile-tcr-junior-24-kids-racing-bike/644853

    I can mail you a picture tomorrow if you are interested, it's always been inside and is in really new condition,

    Hi

    Saw the T-mobile bike - a really great looking bike.
    Would be really interested in the Giant - would love to see a picture - what height is your son and any idea on price?

    My Guy is just 1.5m but the bike has a huge amount of upward movement so could last well into mid to late teens, the groupset is way better than the toy bikes that I refuse to buy as they tend to fall apart, the only reason I want to sell it is that he more and more wants to come with me on the road and he is a little small for his mam's bike, I will dig up the the paperwork for it tomorrow, to see what I paid for it, but it was bought new Christmas eve last.
    Pm me an email address for pictures
    Thanks

    Hi
    the size seems fine - my guy is a just a little taller but he's happier on a slightly smaller bike.

    Hi Joey 100
    16 inch might be slightly too big (its for a 13 year old) -(but there again Cube measure to the top of the seat tube and not centre to centre) and also might be a bit steep price wise - how much are you looking for it?
    Thanks

    Lowest I can go on the bike is E600, No problem if its too big for him. But thought it might be suitable as he could still have it as he grows over the next few years! but sure let me know what you think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭velogirl


    Sorry but €600 is a bit too pricey - lovely bike and good luck with selling it. Thanks

    Yeah it is too pricey for a kid who might outgrow it within a year (perhaps even 6 months the way he is growing) - but thanks for the offer and good luck with the sale - lovely mtb.
