2 projects not really finished, but it will do for the time being.
I placed this already in another thread, but couldn't resist to post it again in "current projects".
Both bikes are for my kids. My 7 years old son is perhaps the 1st user, my daughter, now 5, may get them afterwards (I hope they like it).
The MTB 24" was finished some weeks ago. That means rideable, because my bikes are never finished. Needs some finetuning, like a 22T inner chain ring, lighter tyres, larger cogs in the rear. But it's good enough to get used to the bike. Still a bit big though, a nice 20" race BMX would be a better option at this moment, but rare and too expensive.
The road bike (SS) is just finished today, because I was waiting for a 40mm Truvativ Holzfeller oversized stem. It arrived today, so I could finish the bike. But again, tuning is required. Shorter reach brake levers (does someone has a good tip for short reach levers for drop bars, no brifters..., or even wants to get rid of them?), find the right gear, nice pedals, perhaps with toeclips and straps.
But check out that Concor jr. saddle and Campag. Record carbon levers w/o internals (borrowed from former pro team Liberty Seguros or Once)!
Bike is still to big (saddle too high, t/t too long), but it's nice for next year.
