Bike build project
I've started a project with my son to build a bike, a mountain bike.
I bought him a new frame and thought it'd be a good idea for him as a project over the summer holidays. He currently has a cheap Apollo mountain bike so I thought it's about time he realised how much better it is to ride a quality bike.
Apart from the disc brakes, which will come from my bike, every part will be new. I will help him choose the parts and teach him what each component does. I will then supervise the build and help where necessary.
I must remember that it's his bike and not mine. It'll be so easy to take over and do it all for him.

Yes it's 24" wheel. He's a little small for his age and it can always be passed on to his younger brother in future.
ReplyDeleteCool! Kona, ace bike, always loved them!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice bonding project. Looking forward to seeing the final build.
