Item: Dirt jumper
Location: Orange NSW 2800
Item Condition: Used, good condition, no more than a few years old.
Price and price conditions: Negotiable - but no more than $600ish. Pick up/meet within 2 hours drive of Orange NSW 2800.
Extra Info: My step-son would like a dirt jumper type bike (24 or 26"). Preferably single speed or if geared a good spec. Pivotal seat of sorts also preferred. 24 or 26 inch wheels. Size of frame would need to be an XS as he is only little. No more than a 21.5" top tube as this is his maximum comfortable reach currently.

Cheers.

Do you need complete or would a box of bits suffice?

Hey mate,

I would prefer something complete or at least about 80% complete. Getting a couple prices off the LBS in the next couple days just incase they have something cheap going.

Cheers,

Bryce

Thanks Knuckles but hoping to find something with 26" wheels though. Appreciate the thought though.

No worries mate, good luck, it's a frustrating, expensive experience.

Haha yeah it is. Cheers mate. 24" probably would fit him better for the next 6 months but then I think he would struggle after that. It is a frustrating age to buy a bike. Might take him to the LBS soon and get him measured up properly.

Just saw this

Thanks Moorey, would be a great bike but trying to convince a 10 year old is another matter. Apparently it is all about DJ's ...

Bump... still looking.

Can do pick ups/meets in Orange, Bathurst, Lithgow, Blue mountains and Dubbo.

Hey mate, I did actually see that on ebay too and thought it looked alright. Problem was location. Also the frame was a 22.5" large. My 10 year old would have struggled a bit to reach everything. Item was removed anyways :/

Thanks for looking though. Cheers.

You're going to really struggle to find a dj style bike in the size you're looking for. Especially in 26". I have two 24s and a 26 and they are all about 22" tt. All are considered a 'small' which is as small as they go really. Unless you go custom.

If your boy is dead set on having a dj why not get a bmx and trail bike? My bmx is 20.5" tt and that is very common. Dj forks aren't very fun on trails and unless you spend decent coin they'll be 3kg easy.

I've made a solid effort at weight weenie-ing my bikes but they're still not under 11.5kg. I'm not overly heavy or light but i notice a huge different with even 1kg weight difference in the bikes.

Bump....still looking. Last ditch effort before I go buy something at the LBS.

Darsh...yes still looking but am hoping for something local(ish). I know it's a long shot but prefer not to deal with couriers and such. Appreciate the offer though. They are nice looking dj's by the way..

Cheers.
