Xmas gift idea for your little velo-pilots

Postby 10speedsemiracer » Wed Nov 14, 2018 11:43 am

For those of you who feel like spoiling your more compact family members this Xmas, Strider (I'm not associated) proudly present this :

a carbon-fibre balance bike complete with Cane Creek headset, carbon 12 spoke rims and Schwalbe tyres, and all for the low price of USD $899. Weight weenies can rejoice as their little weight weenies (weenie weight weenies?) can zip around on a 5.6lb bike with quality components.

Thank me later...

there are big benefits. When you're carrying home a crying toddler in one hand and a bike in the other, light weight is a blessing.

OK, that's only one reason, but it's a good one.

Yeah but the Cannondale will creak, even without a PressFit..
