I worked at a Boy Scouts of America camp all summer teaching mountian biking merit badge to 12-17 year olds. It was a lot of fun, and I had to maintain a mix of new to very old and abused bicycles. Anyways after the season ended I was tasked with getting rid of old equipment and ordering some new stuff for next year. I'm thinking I'll be sticking with Giant Talons as our go-to for now because I already have 15 of them, but if you have any advice on tother dependable hardtail MTBs that come in child sizes in the 500$ range, I'm all ears.
I also took this old frame home with me since the hardeware is trashed. I thik I'll sandblast it, paint it and make a new commuter out of it. Any advice on cheap but dependable commuter hardware? I need some gears because my commute is in a Colorado mountain town. Pic related
