Hi
As a keen family of bikers, I have been fostering in my son (6years old) an interest in bikes, he has his own and we do woodland trails etc. We came across an old frame dumped in a ditch that he insisted we take home an make new. The frame in question is just trash, but after a weekend of stripping and cleaning it, it is ready to be sent off for a respray(ie I can bin it and replace it). My wife has an old Univega 5.3 LX/mix and the idea is to take bits from that and put onto a new frame and sus forks. I have been thinking about a merlin malt frame and some cheap forks, but really where do we start and what tools/books should I get. The chance to work with my son on this is just to good as a company CEO, I rarely get freetime with the kids. Any thoughts, thanks
