Wanted small HT frame

[nickfrog]

Hi,

Building a MTB for my 10-year old who is around 5ft so needs to be very small, ideally 14 inch or 15 inch. Will consider anything not too heavy, either disc or V-brakes.

What have you got ?

Cheers cyfa2809. Not sure my son would speak to me again though...

.243 racing frame. 4130 aly..not the lightest frame..but virtually indestructable according to reports..

In excellent barely used condition...V or discs...seatpost and clamp inc.

Very hard core...

Looks sexy. Could you weigh it for me please ? Looks like 3kgs!

Azonic ds2 in 14" flavour, alloy frame with horizontal dropouts and a pretty short tt, v mounts and could be disk with an az adaptor... Singlespeed only though, no rear hanger.....

Can chuck in an Fsa headset and kalloy seatpost

4130 is steel not alloy and it'll be a heavyish boy

Guys,

10/10 for effort but unfort. I reckon the .243 is about twice too heavy and the Azonic won't do for lack of gears.
He's only 35kgs or so and besides, he's already got a dirt BMX.

Keep them coming though!!

Cheers.

Centre BB to Centre Top = 10" (yes 10")
Centre BB to Top of Seat Tube = 13"
Top Tube Length 21"
Virtual 21.6"
