You are probably the dad every biker kid wants. Wish my dad built me such a cool bike when i was a kid. Even a carbon fork, thats sick ^^

Tnx a lot mate (but be aware, more effort was invested to get the approval from Mrs. CFO - a.k.a. wife 😁)! Ps. I’m really trying to make this balance bike light (very light)... carbon rims ✅ carbon handlebar ✅ carbon seat post ✅

💯% not a fan of faking things, but this time I've made an exception - it just looks so cool (hopefully Enve will not be pissed too much)! 🙃 Ps. Custom grips! 💪🏻

As always, excellent job from #ShockaCycling Team! This time was a bit more tricky due to super-short lengths required, however TOP 👌🏻 quality came out of the package... spokes ✅🤘🏻🥳

They said “it won’t fit”! I said “sure it will”, only you need the 🆁🅸🅶🅷🆃 🆃🅾🅾🅻🆂 (tnx Schipo AG 🤘🏻)... ...and 🆆🅸🅻🅻... ...and 🆃🅸🅼🅴... You get the point! 🔩⚙️🔧🤓 hubs modded ✅ QR skewers modded ✅

an awesome build! 'hope' the mini will enjoy riding!

— smn vor 5 Jahren

Tnx a lot! ;) Mr. Mini really likes his mini-machine and he calls it "brm brm"... :D Parallel he's in the Commencal's 'Kid Of The Year Challenge' where tomorrow Commencal will post their 5 favourite videos on @commencalbikes Instagram. The video that achieves the highest number of views within 24 hours of being posted will win the title of KID OF THE YEAR (+ new Ramones). We hope to appear in 5 favourites, so feel free to support us! :D

Since these mini-shredders are catching speed pretty quickly, it's time to slow down a bit... :)

— Bero177 vor 4 Jahren

nice project! a shame they're getting bigger that fast... i'm sure for the price paid for all the parts you could've bought a ramones 14 and a ramones 16 and probably a ramones 20 :-) my kid also has a ramones 12, but without all the upgrades. but to be honest: i wanted to upgrade it too, but i've got a cost-sensitive wife...

— muellmaa vor 4 Jahren

Yip, they really grow fast and therefore I've already started Ramones 16 project (same '15 paint-job for the cool collection tomorrow which will stay within the family) where I'll again be not so much interested in the costs. Only this time it will be more tricky due to drivetrain where I'm planing to go with belt drive from Gates and maybe will add 2-speed Automatix hub from SRAM. We'll see. Currently I'm sourcing the custom 16er carbon fork which is also very tricky since you need to have custom mold but will find the way... More details will follow in the end of the year! ;) Back to the figures, yes, you are fully right with finance plan, however neither from these Ramones 14/16/20 would be such a lightweight-badass-machines as this one, would they? :) Explain to your wife that all these upgrades are good for the kid from ergonomic point of view (however I couldn't use this one since my wife is physio loool) so she just needed to handle the truth and live with that. Period! :D Good luck mate! 🍻🍻🤘🏻

That's just awesome.... We have just ordered a carbon bar, the hope hubs, and some other smaller hope parts. The rims will be ordered in june, and I've found a red hope stem, used but very good condition for a good price.... The biggest difference is that we got the 2019 model in beige/camourflage. The seat clamp is already waiting to get mounted ;-) btw, all hope parts will be red as at your build....
