  • Possibly the wrong thread, but has anyone built up a fixed or single-speed for a teenager? Anything extra to consider?

    The main problem seems to be how fast they grow. My son is 12 and 5ft 1" and grew an inch in the last three months. So I'm thinking a 51cm or 52cm frame would be about right, and would last a year or so.

  • Wont last a year, ive moved from a 54 to a 58 in around a year. Id work on having nice components that last long and basic framesets that you would eventually swap out for something nice when his growing slows down.
