Nov 18, 2002 11:20 AM | | Glad to see you both had a great time on the new ride.
Are those rubber boots SPD compatible? |
| nice post | laffeaux
Nov 18, 2002 11:21 AM | | Lucky kid! I wish I had a bike like that when I was his age. It looks like you two are in for some good times. |
| Lucky Kid, indeed. Looks like he had a great time (nm) | michigantammy

| Very cool..... | knobbydad®
Nov 18, 2002 11:38 AM | | I just upgraded my riding partner from a 20"er to a 26"er. I raided the parts bin and came up with the following:
Superblo 14" Access frame
Full LX drivetrain except Sram Attack shifters
Mavic 221 rims w/Specialized Stout hubs
WTB "Glittergirl" saddle
Syntace VRO bar/stem combo - very adjustable for when she grows
Sorry for the poor pic quality. The lighting in my 150+ year old barn ain't so great. Oh,yes I did drag her out to the barn in her PJ's to take the pic!
Trust me Ed, your rides with the young lad will be some of your best.
Ya done good! |
| good stuff Ed ... | Nick.
Nov 18, 2002 11:59 AM | | Second best part? - It fits in the trunk too.

| The gumboots are the best part... | Painter
Nov 18, 2002 12:04 PM | | of the whole thing. :)
I could have used a pair of those this weekend on the Shore. The mud was rotor-deep in a lot of spots.
Congrats on the new ride. I can't think of anything better than sharing your passion with your son.

| Wonderful! Another mtn biker in the making!! | whatever
Nov 18, 2002 12:24 PM | | Love seeing the grin on your boys face! How old is he? I've got
my 10 yr old nephew on a kids Trek, which is definitely too small. I've got my old Litespeed in the attic waiting to be built up for him. Thinking of breaking it out for a Christmas present, but I don't want to put him on something too big.

| ready for BC, huh? | JimC.

| that is awesome! | francis
Nov 18, 2002 4:37 PM | | I love the camouflage helmet.
Lucky boy, lucky dad. I can't wait for my 2 year old to hit some singletrack.

| Nice! Looks very familiar... | radair
Nov 18, 2002 5:36 PM | | ...as my boy has the same bike. Looks like you scored last year's model, too, which is a better bike than this year's dumbed down version.
Some of my most memorable rides have been with my kids. Enjoy. |
| A 26" wheeled bike should be about the same price ... | Biking Viking
Nov 18, 2002 6:51 PM | | ...and lighter. Too big?
BV |
| Even this one is just a little too big. | Fast Eddy
Nov 18, 2002 8:05 PM | | He needs a top-tube pad, if you know what I mean.
Besides, I've got another one coming up the pipe, so I figure I'll get about 8 years or so of use out of it. This one fills a minor gap in my set of bicycle sizes. I need just one more in the above-26" category... |
| Get all those kids some riding glasses! | mtbiker71xx
Nov 19, 2002 7:47 AM | | It's never too early to get an eye injury. Along with helmets and gloves, glasses should be required.
Great to see the kids out riding. Can't wait to get my 2 year old out on the trails in a few years.
Ride On. |
| Hey right on! | mudferret*
Nov 19, 2002 10:32 AM | | Looks like he's having a blast. I can't think of a better riding partner to have for yourself. You've gotta be careful though, if Race Face ever comes out with 140mm cranks he'll just HAVE to have them;-)
