RidingAgain Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Someone contacted me about a bike I'm selling but it's too small for him. Talking further he asked if I could build a bike for him. He's 6'1", 235 lbs, and has a $300 budget for the whole bike. I've got components and wheels, but the frames I have are too small. If you have something you can part with for a few bucks let me know. He wants to start riding for health reasons... Pavement and light trail. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Does the wheel size matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have one fairly expensive set of 27.5 wheels and a front 29... I have a few 26, so 26 will work better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... I have a fork with a fairly long steerer tube. And it's a 100mm travel fork which is what it seems the Hawk used. Check your messages.
