Right now I'm thinking of converting the "jump bmx<http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/2335469362/>" to a geared bike, then I have a old 600A frame<http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/509802333/>that barely fits a 650c Nexus <http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/1863687736/in/set-72157601949115550/>wheel.
I'm on the lookout for old 24" and 650c "traditional" road bikes all the time. The vast majority of 650c bikes are tri-bikes, but older steel road bikes pop up on ebay now and then. Kona's 24" Jake <http://www.cyclerscafe.com/KidsBikes/Kona/Jake24.aspx>cross bike is pretty cool, too. I wouldn't mind finding a 24" mtn. bike tbut they're all so heavy and with suspension. Would like to find a lighter/rigid 24" one some day, but don't know if they exist. DE On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 8:18 AM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Catie turned 8 on June 8th.
