Very pleased with this build. A customer asked if I could build a bike for his son but the brief was a bit special. A Trek 7.5 frame mated to a Chilli 700c fork fitted the bill nicely for size and reach. I recently asked about building this in 'The Knowledge'
The lad only has a right hand so to keep things simple I sourced a double lever with matching mini V-brakes and kept the transmission simple, too.
A single ring up front with a wide ratio cassette for the rear. (For those who want the details it's a 46 front with 11-32 cassette) SRAM X-5 shifter and derailleur.
A short travel fork and wide riser bars give an upright position, which helps novice or inexperienced riders control the bike.
Had we had the budget then hydraulics and SRAM 3x8 would have featured but we're very happy with the outcome
