Good to know bike is still available. Thanks also for doing measurement. Olly is I suppose on the small side for a 10yr old - OK torso, but short than average legs ...
We sat him on a Hoy 650c Meadowbank this afternoon in our local Evans bike store £380 in sale (hence tardy response) which he was exact right size for, with seat at it's very lowest ... but view the investment I think we need to give some serious thought as to how long a 650c bike would realistically last him versus how big the stretch would be for him to a 700c bike ... annoyingly they did not have a small frame-sized 700c road bike at Evans (apparently Hoy bikes use same frame for road and track bikes).
I have contacted Dolan Bikes today re: sizing and have also asked coaches at Welwyn for some advice ... so once I have a steer from them I will be back in touch asap either way ;-)
