Our daughters are 9 and 11 y.o. and we got them the Luath 24 and Luath 26 in June, then went cycle touring along the Danube River and the Romantic Road in Germany/Austria for 8 weeks this summer. They had the mudguards, racks, Schwalbe Marathon tires, and small Ortlieb bags- they performed well despite being designed as XC bikes. Now they are doing XC in Fairfield County (if you & your progeny are free on Tuesdays, check out https://www.bikereg.com/40011) and are enjoying the same bikes in a very different environment.<br />One issue we had is that our 9 year old had a tough time shifting to a smaller cog (swinging both STI levers) from the hoods. She can do it from the drops, but it is awkward- I wondered if you had a similar experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-78217526643569396542018-09-13T03:43:23.269-04:002018-09-13T03:43:23.269-04:00See Rapha video @ 0:47.
