It would come down to tire width desires really. If your son is happy with <28mm tires without fenders, there's a lot of great options. Look for Tange Champion 1 or 2 tubing for a fun whip. Champion 2 can do alright with a bit of a load IME.
If you're thinking ~32/35mm tires, a touring frame would be better, but might not be as lively to bomb around on. Better for mounting racks though. There's a Trek 520 on Sacramento CL (no relation) that could be fun and might fit him for a couple of years. https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/bik/d/standard-1984-trek-520-touring-bike/7101777951.html IanA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
