  Have two of these as they proved great for my kids. This is the slightly larger-wheeled type (I think the classic is a ‘12’. They used them even after they’d moved onto pedals for some pump track action and general messing about - easier to carry and transport too.
  Alas, now they are on 16” and 20” wheels, I really need to accept that these aren’t needed.
  Collection is from Bournemouth, I do get to London Victoria area (via Waterloo) once a week or so, happy to meet. Otherwise, will post at cost, if you are patient while I get a box.
  Condition is as you’d expect when reasonably carefully used by 3-5 year-olds. Wouldn’t pass for new, but in no way battered.
  I’d say they are very similar condition. If you prefer one over another, high/low saddle should differentiate.

  £75 each.

  If these were the road/gravel version I’d have a nervous bank account by now.

  This was mine, sold ‘on here’. The text is largely from my original advert, and the full-build pre-respray pic is my garden. No issues with any of that btw. Just thought I’d mention.

  I’ve used a ProTeam insulated GoreTex waterproof quite extensively, it seems breathable enough to use even when the rain is intermittent (or just damp/misty). So I’ve tended to ride all day with it on… did the solstice 100 wearing it this year.
  Thermal baselayer goes well under, with/without a thin long sleeve top depending on temperature.
  Edited to say, the material doesn’t have much stretch, so a size up might be needed - ymmv.
  Further edit : pockets are useful but quite shallow.

  That’s really nice, looking forward to some ride shots.

  Just a heads-up that I bumped into a fellow longtail owner on the school run who has an Extracycle and asked about my Big Dummy bags (as his originals are falling apart). So I’m going to point him in this direction if that’s ok?

  Hi there, registering interest in the stem should it be split from the frameset. Thanking you!

  Just for anyone seeing this Big Dummy last minute and rushing a bid … take a look at the top tube dents. It’s been around on marketplace etc since early summer and expect the dents have scared a few off.
  I’ve got no engineering knowledge as to whether the damage is a structural concern, but thought it worth pointing out.
  Kid Corral and centre stand worth a chunk of the opening price though!
