I bought a second hand bike as a temporary measure for my 4.5ft tall 7 year old, as he has outgrown his CULT and I can’t afford his chosen one for a couple of months.
However it is far too big, even for me at 5ft tall.
The seller told us it was an 18’’ but definitely a 20’’ with a far too long frame and very high/wide handlebars.
I have adjusted the handlebars inwards however it’s just too big to handle.
On the plus side I have ridden it and it is very fast.
However upon a closer look the chain is dirty and the screw/bolt thingys are very dirty too.
Is their anything else I can do to make it manageable/smaller/ lighter/easier for a couple of months or am I wasting my time and money here?
