Wanted: entry level small MTB's

Looking for three; two teenage boys and for mom. All three are about 5' tall.

Boys are wild skaters, but first bikes so who knows if they will get into freeride, XC racing, or quit in the first year

Mom is a distance runner, figures it would be good to spend time with her boys. I don't expect her to be buying a neck brace and saying "brah" any time soon

 

The only thing I have to offer is an old school 08 Spesh Pitch 26er, three rings up front and tubed tires. Still a good bike?
Put $600 into it a couple years ago and never even rode it.

 

How much? I won't rule it out.

 

$680

 

Good effort, Josh.

Looks like you might be a third of the way there. Nice one, Doug.

 

That's a great bike for a great price!

 

Yes gentlemen that bike has and can slay a down hill! The few times I road it, it railed!

 

She just picked up a road bike a few days ago, sounds like she is already hooked

Still have the MTB? She was looking at MTB's today, sounds like she is ready to pull the trigger. I recommended this bike over the other bikes she was looking at. If it fits her well enough.

 

Yep, still got it. I’ll throw in a command post also, it’s not in the pick, the post does need a service though.

 

Cool. We'll work out a time so she can check it out and make sure she fits

 

Bump and update...

She is riding a 44 juniors frame roadie, and her boys seem to fit it well. I had the eldest boy try to ride my medium E29, and it was so huge on him that he could barely straddle it. So they will definitely have to be smalls or extra smalls.
