wheels? I am looking for one for my 7 year old son, and the only small

bikes

I can find are BMX or butchered MTB's, nothing in the line of a road

bike.

I am thinking of having one built, thus the previous enquiry about framebuilders.

is that what he wants, or is that what you want? fwiw my now 14 year old rarely picks/ed what i
wanted or expected him to pick or like. his first real bike, well i wanted him to get a beaut
miniature tourer and he wanted this nasty looking thing with cartoon characters all over it, which
vaguely resembled a misguided bmx. being a wimp i got it for him. he was happy until he outgrew it.
next bike he picked was a 6 speed bmx. he outgrew that. now at 14 he has a 24 sp atb. I am seriously
liking his more than my trusty old lightweight tourer!

I've got a pygmy road bike, he prefers to be known as Black Francis. Wheel set - 24" rims,+ 1 & three eighths etc, 150mm cranks, 45/40 double set. Group set is a ancient mix of Altus, Tourney & Suntour GT. With a few adjustments, like a bmx seat post, touring bars, pannier rack & a Benneton designed saddle (!!!).

Cool if you're short of height & leg. Wanna put a 53 tooth on it, but three arm spiders seem to be rare these days. sigh.

Don't know the age or brand of frame, maybe 70's vintage from Europe. Turns a few heads & I'm extremely fond of Francis.
