There is probably no easy answer to this question but any thoughts
greatly appreciated.
My son, 12 going on 13, is desperate to have a road bike to replace his
outgrown hybrid. He has as yet not yet started to grow fast but it can't
be far off. I have had a look the Islabike Luath 700
http://www.islabikes.co.uk/bike_pages/luath700.html which seems very
nice but the Islabike people warn me that he may not fit it for very
long.
I was wondering if I should perhaps get him a small adults bike that may
be bit big at the moment but which he would grow into soon. He fits
reasonably on my wife's bike which has a 19.5" frame (in old money).
Is this a reasonable approach? Can anyone suggest a range of road bikes
which have these smaller sizes?
I await the awesome power of the hive mind.
Cheers
