help a young talent...

[littleswazi]

My maids son is 15, and is passionate about cycling. I introduced him to the sport last year, and I have given him a old MTB, bought him some shoes, a helmet, cycling kit, gloves, glasses etc....

 

HIs bike is a very old and heavy and I want to try build something up for him, with old parts and things people have lying around and are wiling to part with for a small price .....or for free...

 

If you have any bits and pieces lying around, it would go along way to make this lads dreams come true...

 

We are doing the 94.7 on Sunday on a tandem together. He is SO excited!

He did it last year on his old MTB is about 3.40.

Any help will be appreciated.

 

I live in Parkmore and can come anywhere in the Gauteng'ish area.

 

Thanks

 

PS: I took him to critical mass last month.... and his eyes almost popped out!!!

A parts list of what is needed would help.

Different BB ect.

 

I may have a few things,

have some 26" tyres, maybe a front xt derailuer and shifter.

maybe a couple other things just need to look and see.

thanks DJ84.  He has a old Gary Fisher - not even sure of model. 26" with v brakes... Any upgrades I can make will be great - be it wheels, frame, shifters etc.

I will have stuff. I build and donate bikes to guys trying to get into the sport. How tall is he? I can get an old Schwinn. Very light. We can fix it up with some good components and donate it to him. This frame is a Large. Not sure about the inches. Give me a PM if you think it will work.
