daughter's bike got run over, replacement carbon?
« on: November 29, 2020, 10:13:21 PM »
Rapidly growing 11 year old.  Already was showing a lot of seatpost on her 26" stumpjumper hardtail aluminum (2008 vintage I think)  At today's mtb race, one of the sponsors backed over the bike with van. Both our fault, no one hurt.  Was wondering if china carbon might be appropriate.  I could build up either a 26 or 29er. Cheapskate dad would want the rear end to be 135qr so I can use on e of my existing wheels.

Any recommendations.  - oh bonus if its pink  :)

Thx

I've built a few bikes on the FM-009 frame.
One was even painted in a nice orangy pink  ;)

It was $300 for a painted 15" frame 3 years ago.
Tideace or Haideli are the same company.

The drop outs can be changed, they may have 135mm, if you ask.
Not sure if she still works there but Joy was great to deal with: joy@haidelibicycle.com

Confused

Not sure if you picked a frame yet. If not Framed Bikes in the US has several of their carbon frames on sale with another 20% off.  Their dual suspension is an Ican frame (out of stock).  Not sure on the others but for ~ $300 with an arrival in under a week they are a good deal.
