Btw, that's the answer to the original question. Clem was created as an answer for folks (like me) who keep buying old rigid mountain bikes off Craigslist, then spending too much money to get them rolling. You can reverse engineer this process by buying a new Clem frame and slapping Craigslist

One of the things you will want is a really protective helmet. We used this for our grandson. It is hard to find XXS sizes, which you will need, and you want the helmet to fit well. Equestrian helmets offer better protection than regular bike helmets and their coverage also extends a bit lower
