Sun Jun 03, 2018 - Calebs new bike - Frog 55 - Team Sky edition

Hi all, hope the weekend is being kind to you all.
Last night I arrived home with Calebs new bike, a Frog 55, and yes it is in team Sky colours :cry: but hey ho he loves it.
He has graduated from his 16'' wheel Diamondback singlespeed to this which is 20'' wheel and 8 speed Shimano.
It's very lightweight and has good quality stuff through out and seems a good proper bike. He really loves it but due to him not being very well at the moment he has only ridden it a short while this morning. He wants a rack so he can put panniers on it and ride to Orkney, not a bad ambition for a 7 year old.
It's a great bike that came with more rugged off road tyres, mudguards which I fitted straight away and touch up paint. Which is all very nice and saves having to then go and source it all when he just wants to ride.

As it's the Team Sky edition it came with a few extras in an unmarked box :wink: 

Our house is more a quickstep family of supporters and this was evidenced by Caleb asking if he can get some Lidl stickers to cover up the team Sky ones :)  It's how he picks out Gilbert and the team in the peloton on TV.
