My 13-year old son has 2 bikes: a race bike and a commute bike. The race bike is a mishmash of spare parts on a Nashbar aluminum frame. Inexpensive but still too nice to let get beat up on the middle school bike rack. So I gave him my old steel SSCX to ride to school: shorter stem and seatpost to fit, platform pedals, slick tires, and a rack/panniers. I think he likes the SSCX better, actually. And I've infected him with the N+1 virus.
