Junior bikes

[Rowdie]

Hi

Looking to get my daughter (aged 11) a road bike to do triathlons.
Any recommendations ? (or cycling specific websites that sell second hand)

Hi

Any recommendations on where I can find second hand junior road bike in NSW (Sydney region)?

Cheers

Which state do you live in ?. In WA contact local bike clubs as junior bikes turnover regularly. Local velodromes also have pin up boards with race bikes for sale. And just search gumtree etc

Gumtree might have some extra small ladies frames, I also see the odd youth road bike up for sale as kids grow out of them

And her height is?

There's 24", 26" (650C) and 28" (700C a.k.a. "full size") road/tri bikes out there. Each suits incrementally taller ranges of people. Most likely a 650C bike will fit as you can build frames from teeny up to well over 6' (at about 165-170cm 700C frames are viable, depending on individual shape)

If you use Facebook, check out the Marketplace for bikes.

Just found out that Kotavelo have 24" and 650C bikes
No relationship, not even a customer. The owner/staff lurks around here somewhere.

Giant does too:

Saw one today, it looked reasonable enough.

Must be a decent secondhand market for them given how quickly kids grow (too big for the smaller bikes).

Fuji make a couple of different 650c bikes. I think the bottom end bike has a weird Tourney mix with the handlebar/stem shifters but the Fuji Finest is a Sora/Claris with 2x8 brifters and isn't too expensive :



The one shown is an XXS selling for $699 (am sure you could haggle this down or get freebies) and is in Parramatta.

Other option is a Norco Valence but that's another $300 odd

I see quite a few juniors at my club riding Hillbrick bikes, too. They seem to make a range of kid's sized road bikes.

I have a 650c The One and a Vitus 24" Premiere available for sale in WA.

Nice looking 24" Hillbrick for sale in Wingham asking $450 if you feel like a drive
