Hi all, that time of life…
would love to get hold of a cheap bike that I can put a 1.5yr old on.
Ideally with child carrier, mudguards,big tyres, 90s chique, geared for a heavy child 🤣 nothing special (can possibly lock up).
I’m based SE and I’m 56/58 in road bike (6foot2) don’t know how that translates to mountain bike..

Thanks!

XL specialized sirrus with a sub compact 42/30 front 8 speed set up. Has skinny ass 23mm tyres on at the moment but plenty of clearance. Got carbon seatpost and bars on but I can swap those out for alloy versions.

Big issue is that I'm in Devon so postage will be hefty, if you are interested I'll send some pictures

It's set up for me at 6'3 to give an idea.

I'll look into shipping costs but pm me an offer/ your budget and we can take it from there

Thanks for the pics! Went for a smaller size frame mtb in the end - I like the finish on the spesh though!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
