Small, road bike 47-50cms

[ancient biker]

Hi

Trying to source a road bike for a ten year old. He's four and a half feet but growing fast.

Would need to be relatively modern and be posted to N Ireland.

Many thanks

Darren

Don't know what your budget is but you can get a brand new Dawes Sportif SL with 105/5700 groupset (Hidden Cable variant) in a 43 cm frame for £599 from Winstanley bikes..an absolute cracking bargain. Remove the bits when he outgrows the frame and you've still got some quality gear worth the purchase price alone.
And at 4ft 6 a 50cm frame will be probably too big for him to get his leg over it never mind even get close to standing on tippy toes astride it

There's some discount bikes here including a 24 speed 47cm with 8x3 for £359 http://www.discountbicycles.co.uk/biz/p ... _white_blk
luck hunting

Thanks for the replies.

That Dawes Sportif looks great but i'm just not sure how much use this small road bike will get so i can't justify spending so much.

I really need a complete bike

Tel, can you please let me know he mesurements of that Specialised?
(if it's still available!)

Many thanks
