The
advent of the compact road frame has revolutionized the way
we look at lightweight racing bikes, and it also makes possible
something that was unheard of until now... a kid's roadbike
that is perfectly proportioned for young riders. With its
650c wheels, our Vantage JayVee offers the same ride quality
and manageability that you expect in your own bike, but sized
just right for kids in about the 9 to 13 age range (adults
under 5'0", too). The JayVee features an 18-speed Shimano
Tiagra drivetrain with STI dual-control shifters and a properly
sized TruVativ Touro crankset. The aluminum frame is lightweight
and its geometry gives kids a low standover height, yet provides
a stable ride and handles like a dream. Other components are
top-notch, too... including a carbon fork & seatpost,
a nicely built wheelset and Ritchey Comp handlebar & stem.
If your boy or girl is ready for the open road, if you are
ready to share your love of cycling with your favorite companion,
this is the bike to buy for them.
