Re:
Hmmm. So this is where it's at.
Happy enough. The boy will need the bar ends to get up the hills methinks. Need to come up a bit though. Decided to use a set of xt Vs as the avids were too much black on black. Yeti grips, Easton bars, xt shifters and levers, cheapo post I had for the explosif. Spare saddle, stem etc. Only lx front mech bought. Rear lx mech, stx rc cranks, Heavy but strong SUP wheels.
Loving the tyres. Chainstay will be tube wrapped. Cables black. Or grey or sparkly yellow or bright yellow?
Opinions? Remember designed to firstly get him round and secondly, look ok ish.
It's a bit busy.

Re:
Blimey is he as tall as you? Not sure about the front end but if it works for him that's all that matters.
I'd shoot for black or yellow cables, not grey.
One little tip, the tyres look good but if it's damp underfoot I recommend swapping them for something else. They can get pretty sketchy.

Re: Karma 97 cinder cone Build thread.
He rides my bikes when he visits. Post is just thrown in for now. Extra pic added. Could swap for flat bars but will see how he fits it.
Will take some pana fires along in red.
I know he'll appreciate the bar ends when he gets knackered. Which he will. Personally I'd take them off. I've got a drawer full of them. Maybe swap for light blue ano x lite stubbies?

I'm forgetting he doesn't have my back issues. Black prolites going on. Will keep the high rise stem though.

Getting there. Ritchey grips next I think. Got some spare. Yetis look too OTT with the bar ends. Also found a kona top cap on the broom.

Re: Karma 97 cinder cone Build thread.
Well my first choice of cable outer is on. As are different grips. Minininjarob sold me a couple of lengths of something lurid a couple of years ago, one of which went on the broom. Half of that was retrieved so the broom will get yet another colour for the front mech.
Pedals, trimming and tightening before shakedown tomorrow.
