My two have ridden 650b since they were 10 and 12 on their 13.5 and 15inch frames.
They never had 26" going straight up from 24" -soon I will need to consider what they get next (probably rebuilt frames that I still have from my bikes in the shed!)

Re: Kids/Dads/Moms Lakes Bivi 8th July
Edit - just realised it's my daughter's housewarming party that weekend.
Unfortunately she bought a house in London rather than up north or I'd have tried to juggle something:/

Re: Fitting a roll on this??
My handlebar and control setup means that a roll currently squashes all the cables and thus restricts bar movement. will take a pic with bag mounted in current config when i can. Ah - so probably not the handlebar or levers themselves that are this issue but the length of your cables. When I had my...

Re: Exiting the Rat Race!
I like the books A bike ride by Anne Mustoe and also Alistair humphries two books (the names escape me atm!). Both went around the world different ages and routes but both inspiring stories with lots of insight into what to take

Re: What books are you reading?
Really enjoyed both Orwell's down and out in Paris and London and also the road to Wigan pier, both really capture a sense of the time and societies they were written about but not sure which I'd say was my favourite.
