Mister-Slow

Pick-up can be done in Vancouver or West Vancouver. Pick-up can also be done in Whistler with advance warning. It is hard to find a real mountain bike for kids, with a quality lightweight aluminum frame, disc brakes, and a real suspension fork. The MEC Ace was one of the few that we found. Our daughter has now out-grown it and is graduating to a larger, full-suspension mountain bike, so her Ace is for sale. This is still a current model at Mountain Equipment Coop: http://www.mec.ca/product/5034-272/mec-ace-bicycle-children-to-youths-kids/. It was $450 new. Only the colour has changed. Hers is bright red with silver/white accents as shown in the attached pictures. Here are the specifications: Weight: 12.2kg One Size Fits All - 12.5" frame is sized for kids 135 to 150cm (4ft. 5in. to 4ft. 11in.). Per MEC: "MEC bikes were designed in Canada. Everything from the frames to the graphics was developed at the MEC Head Office in Vancouver, BC. Like a hole-in-one or a quick cross-court shot, the Ace is a phenom. With higher quality components than most kids' bikes, it's better value, more durable, and easier to ride. Your child will spend so much time cruising around on the Ace you'll wish it came in your size too." •Lightweight aluminum frame. •24 x 2.1in. tires with all-purpose knobby tread, aggressive enough for use on most trails, and works well on hardpack too. •Mechanical disc brakes apply more force than rim brakes with less effort and hand fatigue, and they work well in wet, dirty conditions. •RST Capa C24 suspension fork adds comfort and adjusts to varying rider weights. •A preload feature on the fork lets you adjust it for different rider weights. •Wellgo double-sided flat pedals with a studded surface for good grip. •MEC Mountain saddle with chromoly rails. •Made with SRAM and Shimano® parts.
