No worries, it was mainly aimed @Chalfie

@doubleodavey : it's 2 years early but are you interested?

Never rule it out! My twins aren't getting any smaller, put it that way. Send me a PM, I'll discuss with the boss, and probably see you in a couple of weeks with a bundle of used non sequential bank notes

SOLD Kids MTB (24" wheel): B'Twin RockRider fivetwo Junior - Updgraded! (Avid, ClubRoost, Schwalbe) + Spares £99
Posted by
I acquired this a couple of years ago and have completely refurbished it and added some upgrades that, I think, make it into a rad little 1x7 machine for thrashing down towpaths, round a BMX track, through the woods or on-road. This has been stripped completely back to the bare frame, I fitted a new drivetrain, regreased the headset and hubs, fitted new brake blocks and tyres and completely recabled the whole bike (FWIW I've worked as a mechanic).
It's been very lightly used since then (probably no more than 100 miles), so it's in good condition, just some scratches on the seatstay (from locking-up I think). I've made some changes that make it more ergonomic and adjustable for kids and will throw in some extras and spares (see below).
This has been taken on 10-mile road ride through locked-down London and round the trails in Richmond Park and was great for both. I reckon this would fit a child from about 125 cm to 145cm. Full spec below. Ping me any questions

Extra Extras!: If this is for a smaller child, I can throw in a Kore BMX stem that will make the reach really short.
