Default Happy Birthday


My son turned 10 today and he's been wanting a Uni. So guess what was
waiting for him after school? You bet-ya, a 16" Torker CX. I was
concerned that the 16 would be small for him,but it seems to be ok,I
guess. The minimum inseam for the 20 is 25",the 16 is set at 23 right
now,how does it look,are his legs extended about right looking at the
pic? He's got about an hour of practice so far and has gotten 3-4
strokes so far. He is really pumped,tomorrow is going to be a long day
at school,LOL.

It looks good. But just wait till he gets into trials.

Edit: That's really fast progress. He's going to be riding in no time.

Is that tyre fairly standard? It's gotta be just slightly bigger? Either
way it looks a good size for him. He should be able to get into trials
on that one, and try and get him into going to rubber from crank grabs
on that one, because then it will be a smaller step when he gets his
first 20 inch to have to do that, because some people just mentally
stuggle to do it, including me, even though I'm quite sure I have the
ability.

Optimised the picture a bit more (and made it smaller) just to show what
can be made of superdark pictures. Mike, I noticed from the Exif info,
which are still in this smaller picture, that your Toshiba camera's date
is somewhere in 1999.

Not much use if I don't attach it properly, aye? Here it is for real, I
hope.
