Huge shout to to @rextheute for his incredible generosity.
Long story short, I’d been whining I couldn’t afford a little Orange frame for my daughter recently.
Rex (David) messaged me that he had a small bike she could have. I felt like a dick, because my daughter already has 2 fantastic bikes and the last thing she needs is another bike.
I do, however work with a group of over 100 young kids in a weekly MTB training/fitness/skills program, and knew one of the girls needed a more capable bike, which also meant her current little 26” XC bike could be handed down to her younger sister who had long outgrow her little 24”.
Rex was more than happy to do this, and Chloe’s parents were over the moon at the offer.
They picked it up tonight, and took 3 minutes before Chloe was kitted up and taking it for a spin.
I’m planning to throw on a few lighter parts if it needs anything, particularly softer/air forks, but it’s a killer bike already, and she’s going to have a ball. First good ride will be ClubMud DH shuttles Wednesday, and racing it for MiniMuddies kids DH race in May.
Thanks again David. I’ll keep you informed of her progress.
