My son has outgrown two bikes and I've outgrown one.
1. A trek 2.1 43cm road bike, My son used this for two years. It's hard to find a good road bike for a 9-12 yr old so I bought a womens bike and it worked great for him here is the website if you need more info. Also good for a 5"2 ish female. Shimano 105 $600

2. A Specialized Stumpjumper FSR size small. This bike has less mileage than the road bike. Only used for short track this year but great for a 9-12 yr old or 5"2 ish female. Shimano XT rear suspension fox shocks. Here is the website. $600
