Wanted: XS Cyclocross bike

  • Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a 2nd hand 47cm-49cm cyclo cross bike..?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • But if you find one bigger (55-57cm) let me know first

  • There's a 49cm Tricross frame on the British Cycling classifieds site here, http://new.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/article/bcst-Classified-Adverts

    But I'm thinking I'll go with one that takes 650c wheels as the toe overlap on such a small frame will be terrible with 700c wheels. Thinking I'll hit up some of the kids' races and see if there are outgrown ones for sale. :)

  • The 2005 Specialized Tricross Comp for £300 looks good. there is nothing on the bay under £800
    Looks like i'll have to stick knobblies on my winter bike and hope the low BB doesn't get me in too much trouble

    Thanks, will give the guy a shout and see. These small frames are sure hard to come by :-( Good idea about trying to get a 2nd hand junior one, will let you know if i come across anything. You racing this season then..?

    You'll have to pray for dry weather other wise you'll be carrying the bloody thing the whole way round!

    Yep, I'm gonna give it a go this winter once I get back from Ironman Hawaii and recovered from that. Thinking it'll be good post-race motivation to try something new! CX looks like a lot of fun.
