What size wheels you after ? I'm not sure - but this might too small already.

My boy is now 4 ft 11 ins and growing fast, so this - which has served very well will soon be surplus to requirements. It's on 24" wheels, has old style thumb shifters (not the rapidfire clicky ones). Rear wheel, drive train, and tyres (Schwalbe Marathons), and brakes are only 18months old and not seen a lot of miles.

We're not too far away, so if you want to come and have a look, PM me.
