Perfect, I'll get a 17 and 18 sorted

Thanks for replies, presumably i'll need to adjust 32/18 for the 26"er?
Would 50gi be something to aim for on both ?

I'll be driving there so no real need for road gearing.
I'll buy some bigger sprockets and have a play.

I'm hoping to try out SS trail riding at Haldon Forest over Christmas:

https://www.moredirt.com/trail/South-West/Challenge-Trail---Haldon-Forest/1335/

and have all the bits together to build up 2 bikes for me and son- one 29er and other 26", both steel hard tails with solid forks.

Question: what would be suitable novice MTB gear ratios for Devon hilly terrain? (we're both daily road cyclists). I was thinking 32/16 but some of the bikes on here appear to have smaller chainrings?

I have 16t sprockets for both but yet to get the chainrings.

Yes, still here, have dm'd.

Yes please

Yes please, will dm

Yes not the whole bike, just the bits as listed - GS and wheels not included. That's why I've listed it as frame and fork and some bits.

Thanks for the offer, TBH I'm quite keen to move it out of the cycle box asap but if its still around at the end of the month of course you're welcome to it.

Lightweight aluminium children's frame and matching 1" threadless forks (steel, both Italian manufacture AFAIK), cane creek 1" hs + alu stem, charge bars, grips, nice vintage Suntour Pro XC brake levers (which will run road brakes) Shimano brakes, Specialised seatpost.

Built up for my son who's now outgrown it. I used an Isla bike sram twistshift group set and 24" 520's Airnimal wheels. The gs has gone back on the Isla and I'm likely to ebay the wheels as they're Harry Rowland built and were quite expensive for a kids bike.

This has been used for a 5 min school run for around 2 years and is in good condition, with a few paint scratches, mostly on tt as indicated but no dents.
Suitable for 5-8 y.o

Pics of some built up with drops:

£50 picked up from Herne Hill SE24 or I can get it to South Devon if given a couple of week notice, pick up TQ9.

Best of luck trying to get Rourke to respond to a respray request. I tried on 2 occasions recently to get a Rourke 953 repainted with no response from them. Easier to buy new....

That looks great, really like white guards

Looks great, will take please, pm on its way

Yes please, will dm

I'll take posted with donation if it suits?

Readers. Happy with the Sram hydro/Gebla combo so far but will probably go flat mount when they're available.

Spirit tubing and lightish wheels so coming in around 10 kg. Have all the bits to try out carbon drive in the future and likely to change to tubeless at the same time.

Have confirmed address details by dm, cheers
Neil
