Hi
I'm new here. Just looking for advice on buying a bike for my son - specifically a Giant TCX Espoir 26.
He likes the look of it and it ticks all the boxes for what he plans to use it for - road, off road, cyclocross...but I can't find many details on what age and height it's designed for.
i also can't find a weight for it.
My son turns 10 in April, is around 138cms tall and his inside leg is 63cms.
He currently uses a Decathlon 24inch wheel bike which fits him well...but I don't know for how long...
But he wants to go off-road...the Decathlon won't take knobbly tyres (we've tried) so we need to get something else. We've been looking at Luath 26 and Frog bikes...but the TCX has caught his eye (disc brakes mostly).
I'm looking around for a shop which has one so we can try it (South Wales). In the meantime can anyone who owns a TCX give any guidance on fitting, weight etc...thanks
Andy
