Good to know bike is still available. Thanks also for doing measurement. Olly is I suppose on the small side for a 10yr old - OK torso, but short than average legs ...
We sat him on a Hoy 650c Meadowbank this afternoon in our local Evans bike store £380 in sale (hence tardy response) which he was exact right size for, with seat at it's very lowest ... but view the investment I think we need to give some serious thought as to how long a 650c bike would realistically last him versus how big the stretch would be for him to a 700c bike ... annoyingly they did not have a small frame-sized 700c road bike at Evans (apparently Hoy bikes use same frame for road and track bikes).
I have contacted Dolan Bikes today re: sizing and have also asked coaches at Welwyn for some advice ... so once I have a steer from them I will be back in touch asap either way ;-)
Hello! Is this bike still available ? Looking to buy for my 10yr-old son ... he is 140cm tall - think this makes him about 4 foot 6", so a bit short of 5 foot 1" ... standover height about 67cm ?!
Hello! Wondering if bike is still available ? Looking for my 10 yr old son. Do you know what standover height is ?! Son is 140cm tall ... standover about 67cm think that makes him about 4' 6" so possibly still a bit small for this bike ....
