Frog 69 kids bike
Mint condition, barely used kids purple Frog 69 bike. Frog Frog is a British bicycle company with a mission - to create the best kids’ bikes they can. The couple who created Frog bikes are parents of young cyclists themselves. Being cycling enthusiasts, they know that if a bike is to delight, a good place to start is to make sure it’s as light as possible and that it fits properly. This is even more true for children than it is for adults. Growing kids are going to have problems if asked to pedal and manoeuvre bikes that are more than half their weight (sadly this happens). Minimum recommended inside leg measurement to the floor: 69cm. Approximate age range: from years old. Manufacturer's published weight: 10kg. With its 26 inch wheels, the Frog 69 is a perfect fit for youngsters from around years old. Bigger wheels - better ride The Frog 69 is built on a small frame that takes adult size 26 inch wheels. Everything else being equal, 26 inch-wheels are faster than smaller wheels and they are more capable of rolling over obstacles. 26 inch wheels can also be more convenient. If fellow family members ride 26 inch wheel mountain bikes or hybrids, you can share the same spare tubes and so on when you go out together. Lighter Weight Frog bikes, like most better-quality adult bicycles, are built on aluminium frames with (mostly) aluminium parts to keep their weight to a minimum. What makes Frog really stand out is that their forks, hubs, bars, stems, seatposts, V-brakes & levers are all alloy too. This makes a Frog bike kilos lighter than most of their competitors' equivalent sized kids' bikes. Faster wheels Another original detail is that the Frog 69 comes with lightweight alloy quick release wheels fitted with good quality Kenda 26 x 1.5 inch hybrid tyres which will be easier rolling than the 26 x 2 inch knobbly mountain bike tyres you'll find on most of their competitors' bikes. Skinnier tyres make a Frog bike easier to accelerate and hence more fun to ride much of the time. More good things about the Frog 69 Lightweight aluminium alloy frame (14 inch seat tube) and fork. Easy to use high quality Shimano Alivio Rapidfire Plus 8-speed gear shifter and Altus rear derailleur. While their competitors make do with entry level Shimano Tourney gearing, Frog hybrid bikes come with mid-range Shimano Alivio/Altus, frequently spec'd on £ adult bikes. The alloy cranks are a child-friendly short (140mm) length with 36t chainring. The sealed bottom bracket ensures these cranks spin freely. The aluminium wheels are quick release so there is no need to carry a spanner to change the inner tube The 520mm alloy handlebar is fitted with narrow grips for smaller hands. This bars are fitted to a short 40mm alloy stem to keep them within easy reach. Tektro alloy V-brakes with alloy levers are a common sight on good quality £ adult bikes. The saddle is fitted to a full-length 300mm long x 27.2mm diameter seatpost to ensure this bike 'grows' with the young rider. The QR (quick release) seat binder facilitates easy seat adjustment.
