Small Boys Racer

Does anyone know where I could find a small boys racer, built on 20" or 24"
wheels? I am looking for one for my 7 year old son, and the only small bikes
I can find are BMX or butchered MTB's, nothing in the line of a road bike.

I am thinking of having one built, thus the previous enquiry about
framebuilders.

Thank you

These guys do lots of track bikes but will probably do
whatever you want.

is that what he wants, or is that what you want? fwiw my now 14 year old rarely picks/ed
what i wanted or expected him to pick or like. his first real bike, well i wanted him to get a
beaut miniature tourer and he wanted this nasty looking thing with cartoon characters all
over it, which vaguely resembled a misguided bmx. being a wimp i got it for him. he
was happy until he outgrew it. next bike he picked was a 6 speed bmx. he outgrew that.
now at 14 he has a 24 sp atb. I am seriously liking his more than my trusty old lightweight
tourer!

I've got a pygmy road bike, he prefers to be known as Black Francis.
Wheel set - 24" rims,+ 1 & three eighths etc, 150mm cranks, 45/40 double
set. Group set is a ancient mix of Altus, Tourney & Suntour GT. With a
few adjustments, like a bmx seat post, touring bars, pannier rack & a
Benneton designed saddle (!!!).

Cool if you're short of height & leg. Wanna put a 53 tooth on it, but
three arm spiders seem to be rare these days. sigh.

Don't know the age or brand of frame, maybe 70's vintage from Europe.
Turns a few heads & I'm extremely fond of Francis.
