    I am looking for a junior road bike for my just turning 9 year old. I have tried the Carrera Zelos in Halfords plus a small bike that a club member had but the reach is still too long. I see Frog and Scott, Felt etc do 24" road bikes and these may be better. If anybody has anything that we could maybe look at and try for sale, let me know. Thanks

    Would you be able to get a couple of dimensions and maybe a pic or two. Looking for the standover height and the top tube length.

    What is the condition of the bike?

    Thanks,

    Martin.

    Sorry for the delay getting back.

    Top tube length is 47cm horizontal.

    Standover is 60cm at the top/seat tube junction. 66cm if top tube were horizontal.

    Looking for 220 euro. Its also 8 speed not 7 as stated originally. Its in good condition with little use as ours grew out of it fairly quickly.
    Having trouble getting a photo up here. Can email or text one if you like or you can come and have a look if near. I'm in Newcastle in Wicklow.
