Camster911 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) My little sister recently had to go to A+E because the rolled off a curb on a little plastic horse and went over the bars Brave little mite.So i thought for a bit , and im going to teach her how to pedal a bike , and i am gettng her a 12" trials bike made from IOLO The plan is to buy a kids bike and replace the frame with a trials one. put a mini seat on as she's young and take everyhting off that will have wieght.Cant wait. But im not sure what brakes to use. think v brakes.Comment please. im so proud of her. Edited May 9, 2006 by Camster911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatprodude Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 mini mod? do you know how much its going to cost for the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Why not just buy a barbie one or something, then set up or replace the brakes That's what me and my mates were gonna do just to see if it would work (for our own exjoyment of course)Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 My mate used to ride a 12" or something piddly for shits and gigles and he wnted 2 learn trials, he got pedals hops dialed without a brake(decent brake tht is) and did some prety big things on it too. hah then he snapped it bless him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Modlet.Why not buy something like this:Surly it'd be alot less hastle, i mean a trials frame for someone that small? There's no need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 'specially when she gets distracted by other girly things in the way that girls do? Nice idea 'n' stuff, but you may wanna think about it realistically before spending hundreds of £££'s on a bike for her?EDIT: And why are you naked in that pic?

MasterOfGussets Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 She had to go to A&E because she fell down a curb. So you're going to have her trying to learn trials?I personally don't see the logic in it.Buy a bike then use the money for the frame to invest in a helmet for her? (you'll still have change!)

Rich Pearson Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Jonty Tupman (Matt's little brother) has a tiny little 12" wheeled monty. It's so cool....... He also had a little Koxx-stickered frame before that. I say get some cheap avids like SD3's but maybe get some more adjustable levers for little hands.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camster911 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Perhaps, and i want her to have one, she will be interested she already is lol know her , you guys dont. she wont get 'distracted'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I seriously doubt a 12 incher would be worth it, why not teach her the basics on a normal 12 inch bike then get a 16inch where the trials geo might help and she stands a chance of being able to do it?

Mark W Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 No joke. Not to mention she's going to grow really quickly anyway, so it's possible she'll outgrow it sooner rather than later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camster911 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 12" bikes , fr 2-4 year olds.Think what age 20" bikes are for. We still use them.FFS i'll buy her a new one when she grow's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 But the thing is is trials geo on a tiny kids bike gonna make any difference?How will you know if it rides any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
