Looking to build my boy his first 29er.
Could do with a 16/ 17” frame. Condition not too important as will be a project for him. Thinking On One or the like, not to expensive.
What you got?
Thanks in advance.
Adam.

I might have summin...

Steel frame + fork, up to 29 x 2.6 (sliding drop outs) incl. head set.
seattube is 432 mm
headangle too steep (71.5 °)
seatangle 73 °
toptube 600 mm
chainstay 433 mm
BB drop 60 mm with regular 29er
hub std 135 mm qr (or 10 mm thru/bolt on)

fork
lenght 482 mm
steerer 1 1/8" straight
hub std 100 mm qr

Mind, it's ssp and has no hanger, but surely you could find one for it.

I managed to bend the rear, but a professional bent it back and thought it was as good as new. I'm heavy, ride hard and so not too comfy to give it another beating, but for a kid... yeah... I'm sure it would hold up just fine.
Due to what happened to the rear, I'm not asking for anything, but would be happy to get some money for the fork.

More parts I could give away with the bike for free or a few quid
Original wheels (WTB rims, 28 or 29 mm internal, rear ssp hub) for a little price.
Used tyres for free.
Some sub 750 mm handle bars (carbon and alloy, much or little rise - I have a few) I'm happy to get rid of for a pint.
Cranks (and perhaps a still working bb) for half a pint.


All money would go towards Helvetas https://www.helvetas.org/de/schweiz.

This is it:


Here with the original wheels and cranks:

What a cracking machine!

Thats really kind, Gian. I"m very interested.
My son has just sat on my Stooge, which obviously is 18" (455mm) seat tube. He was fine, and plenty of growing room!
Has the frame got track end style dropouts, like a track bike/ fixie, or sliding dropouts?
Would be interested in the frame, fork and headset.
How do you want to proceed.
Many thanks for you reply,
Adam.

Jolly good

I'll make sure the frame and fork are clean, put them in a box and send them to you, most likely by beginning of next week. As stated, the post is stuck, but a good shop should be able to get it out.
Yes, sliding drop outs. As also stated, there's no hanger, but I guess Paragon etc. have a suitable one.

PM for the details?

Very happy to help and see it being of good use.

I surely had some good times on it
Good to know somebody else will be able to have some more.
