Surprised to see that many front derailleurs there.

Good observation. At least 2 of them being run without narrow wide chainrings it looks like. Before I started riding an e bike, I would prefer to take off the derailleur, run a big narrow wide, then just shift it down to the granny by hand if I needed it when I'm getting tired or on a really steep climb. But to each their own. Front derailleurs are less problematic and dangerous than rear derailleurs.

Some look like older(small) models that have been repurposed as junior bikes, probably something to do with the lack of other options at reasonable prices especially given they will grow out of them fairly quickly. They are possibly a bit of a spare parts bin build and might not want to go 1x on a 11-36 cassette!

What's a front derailleur? Is that like a rear stem?

3/15 for juniors bikes seems right.

@yupstate: think of it like an adjustable chain guide

What's the story there? Why are flat pedals a UK thing?

@withdignityifnotalacrity: Because they have shite weather and when you ride 90% of the year in mud, flat pedals are a must.

It's got to be wetter than the UK to be forced onto flats!

Sid Hunter's Specialized Stumpjumper appears to be the 2013, which had a significant paint defect. Basically any amount of sunshine/uv light would fade that orange to a gross yellow. It’s unsurprising that in the UK it’s still perfect almost 10 years later.

it always amazes me just how fast these rippers go. No fear, just full tilt. Kudos.

When your bones are made of rubber, the consequences aren't as severe.
