Road / Dropbar Bike

Boardman Bikes have a range of adult bikes built for going on two wheeled adventures called the ADV.  In winter 2022 they decided to add a smaller version – the Boardman JNR ADV 26″ – to allow smaller people to come along too.

The Boardman ADV 26” shares much of the same specification as its 700c counterparts.  They claim that a triple-butted aluminium frame and alloy fork provide a stable and confidence-inspiring ride whilst offering maximum versatility with luggage and mudguard mounts. The Vee Speedster multi-surface, mid-tread 1.5″ tyres are a fast rolling option for tarmac and light trail use, and can be swapped to something more aggressive, should your adventure demand it.

Ergonomic drop handlebars and cable disk brakes are designed with comfort and control in mind, and with a wide range ratio nine-speed cassette, the ADV 26″ is well worth considering for your bike backing and gravel riding adventures.

The Frog Road 67 is drop handlebar bike suitable for a child with a minimum inside leg measurement of 67cm.

When we reviewed the Frog Road 67 our tester really liked having the auxiliary brake levers on the handlebars, as the transition to cycling entirely on the drops takes time.

The handlebars are suitably narrow for kids shoulders and the gear shifters are nice and close to the bars to make changing gear easier for small hands.

There’s cantilever brakes and enough clearance for wider tyres should you wish to use it for cyclocross / triathlon.

The 26″ wheel Frog Track 70 is a good choice for any child wanting to get into track racing – either on grass or at the velodrome.

The Frog Track 70 is fitted with flip flop hubs for both fixed and free-wheel use and Kendra track tyres.

PLEASE NOTE: This bike is designed for TRACK use only and is not supplied with brakes, a bell or reflectors. In the UK this bike is NOT road legal.

The Frog Road 70 is a good bike if your child is racing cyclocross or triathlon, as well riding on road, as the frame has enough clearance to fit wider cyclocross tyres as well as slick road ones.

As well as integrated short reach brake levers the Frog Road 70 is also fitted with additional levers on the tops of the handlebars.  This is useful for children who are just progressing to drop handlebars and skinny tyres, as it can be a big step to spend all (or even any) of your time on the drop handlebars.

The Frog Track 58 is one of the smallest kids track bikes available. The bike is designed for riding at the velodrome or on a grass track only, and is a good way to get your child into track cycling.

The Frog Track 58 is specified with Kenda track tyres and flip-flop hubs for both free-wheel and fixed use.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:   The Frog Track 58 is designed only for TRACK use and is not supplied with brakes, a bell or reflectors. In the UK this bike is NOT road legal.

The Frog Track 67 is a 24″ wheel Track Bike for children who are racing on a grass track or at the velodrome. 

Frog say that the aerodynamic tear drop tubes combined with track specific geometry minimise drag result in a light, stiff and responsive bike.
