Wanted Small full suspension frame or more

[ishaw]

My 12 year old is currently getting lots of use from a 15 inch 26 inch hard tail I built him. He gets out on local trails and recently took a trip to peaselake and is really into it.

He's now wanting a full suspension bike.and is spending a lot of time online trying to find one he can save up for.

I'm hoping I can help find him something, his birthday is in a few months so thinking I can try and get something ready for that.

So, looking for something fairly current I guess, nothing too low rent but equally not flush so being for buck is preferred.

Frame only, forks, wheels and full bike considered at this point. Probably looking at a 29er but consider 27.5 too I guess.

What's out there for a keen 12, soon to be 13 years old looking to step into full suspension?

Still on the hunt. He's seen a few modern specialised bikes he likes, hoping I can find something to get built up for his birthday.

Can I tempt you with an 18inch ish Turner?
I've got pics I can send you over email.
Just realised it'll be older than him lol

Thanks, I think 18 inch would be too big for him and he's also stipulated nothing older than 10 years. Everything he's showing me he likes is 2022 and up though.

Haha no worries. 'Nothing older than me please, I know what you're like' !

Pretty much, he even used the words nothing retro.
