ChrisF Posted February 19, 2019 Share Strate looking for Maritz's next bike .... nothing decent in 26' Instead a few brands are now going for extra small frames with 27,5 tires .... Nasty little gap between a 24'' and the next decent bikes .... We do have a 2nd hand 26'' that he can use .... but the stand-over height of the frame means he is going to be BIG for the 24'' before he can ride this 26'' ...

They're still almost exclusively 26" and have very low stand-over heights. Or, if you're fine with going 2nd hand, there are a fair few options out there at some really decent prices. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/347614-momsen-jr100-race-tech-1/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/343362-scott-scale-small/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/347128-silverback-stride-20/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/344531-mongoose-xs-26-perfect-kids-race-bike/ Edited February 19, 2019 by Captain Fatbastard Mayhem popcorn_skollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted February 19, 2019 Share get him a jump bike. They're still almost exclusively 26" and have very low stand-over heights. Where do we get these ? dealers ? brands ?

MORNE Posted February 19, 2019 Share Strate looking for Maritz's next bike .... nothing decent in 26' snip https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/BFe26 probably out of budget(?) but 100% decent fo sure. There are still boutique brands that make proper 26" frames. AAAANNNDDDD i'll just shamelessly use this as ANOTHER opportunity to post mine since I also still ride 26" and love it to bits . need new pics I know. to busy enjoying it on the trails to stop and take pics.It even takes an internal dropper (which it now has). a small or medium for a kid would be the best toy ever in my opinion. Although a hard hitting trail orientated hardtail, it cruises fine over 100km even with 160mm in the front.This is a large but i'm quite tall so this is my toy.

MORNE Posted February 19, 2019 Share here's a smaller one in DJ guise... every now and then a small or medium makes a brief appearance in the classifieds...but they are rare and dont change hands alot.

Grebel Posted February 19, 2019 Share We are still rocking a stable full of 26" bikes. I am hanging on to my wife's 26" GT Avalanche XS so that she can ride it (obviously) but also so that my youngest has a bike when he outgrows the 20" (Might skip over the 24") I am still riding my Teocali and enjoying every ride.

Think we have a small frame .... visually the same stand-over height as the Scott Scale above. Been eyeing that Scott for a while now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted February 19, 2019 Share O yes, reminds me that my son wants to sell his old school med 3x9 marin nailtrail. The frame has been recoated a fews back. New rims and tyres. Drive train could probably do with an upgraded, but the bike has hardly been used. Not advertised as thats his business, but pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
