Future Tour winners needs bike

NickInBath · October 2008

My son has just turned 9 and I'm glad to say seems keen on a road bike for Christmas. Santa's research so far has unearthed a Trek (whatever the least-expensive road bike is called) and the equivalent model from Giant. Both come with a 43cm frame and 650C wheels. Both are about £400. The details are on their respective websites and look very "pukka". The vital measurement is the standover height and I seem to remember they have a measurement of 63cm whereas the boy has an inside-leg length of 62cm - about 1cm adrift at this point but he seems to be growing a cm every quarter anyway. I guess he'll grow out of it pretty quickly but if his Cannondale censored trailer, Blackburn childseat and Tag-a-long trailer bike were anything to go by, it will find a ready buyer when the time comes. Roll on Le Tour in about 12 years time!

The SCR 39cm is 650c and the 42 is 700c.

My Son is 9 and rides the 42cm SCR 3.0 W. I swapped the handlebars for narrower ones, a shorter stem and a smaller saddle.
