My 13 year old son rides a Bianchi Viggorelli (? sp.) with Ultegra/FSA. We got a GREAT deal on the frame from e-bay and he mowed lawns, shoveled walks,
walked dogs, raked leaves and got good grades for the rest of the money...
(hubby and I bought the frame). He is about five feet six inches and growing so we did go one size up on the frame, and now wished we had gone two sizes up, (he is very long and lean). The thing that is killing me right now is the shoes for his pedals...he jumps about two sizes every 3-5 months in shoes and is now up to a mans 12. I have kept a coupla of his old pairs for me and now my husband can wear the same shoes as well...but man
it is getting harder to keep up with this kids food consumption and his shoe needs!!
