Its upgrade time
« on: September 23, 2009, 10:38 AM »
For me boy.

Typical, i spend time getting his little GT made lighter for him and a new colour and 2 months later he's bleeding grown out of it   :D



So i had a look round and the first thing i noticed was the 14" market is not really catered for by the 'Proper' manufacturers.
Sure i could go and buy a 14" Postman Pat bike with all the plastic bits on it from Halfords but i have standards  ::)

Thinking about it i suppose kids aren't on 14's long enough before they have grown out of them.

So off we go on a Saturday afternoon and come with this

Felt Heretic 16, twas a bit big for him but a trusty pivitol seat and post combo sorted that   :daumenhoch:



No stopping him now





Praise the lord for 'proper' bike manufacturers   :4_17_5:

That doesn't look too big at all, pretty perfect for him if you ask me.


Might be a bit tall for you though............................................  :P
