Kids cyclocross bike - I know… I have a problem…
I am and have been addicted to cycling for as long as I can remember. Even when two wheels were replaced by four (skateboard), I kept riding and jumping. Now I find it hard to divide my time between my bikes and what type of riding I want to do. My cross bike has been favorite since I bought it. Nothing climbs like it and it is fast as hell. It’s only natural I would get her one to join me on my adventures.
Plus I figured she needs a bike to cruise around with her friends. I am very strict about her riding her road bike with other kids when I am not there. The bike is very fast and she often shows off. The end result is a crash or a near miss that would make your hair stand up. I picked up a complete Trek Mountain Lion at a yard sale. It was a tad beat and needed cables and chain at the minimum.
I decided to conver the bike to a cyclocross bike instead of keeping it a mtn bike. An easy task. Buy tires, wheels, bars, levers and an old XTR derailleur.
The result. A super fast kids cross bike.
She took it for a test ride and loved it. I asked why she was riding so much faster on this bike. She didn’t know. I think it was newbike excitement.

It rained for the month of June. t is July now and still raining. Not fun at all…
The track will most likely be canceled again, I’m hoping Longsjos isn’t. See you there.
