hi,

i'm french, i have a bike with no y-frame but a horizontal bar lihe this (http://www.gitane.com/rocks-29-race-en-detail-5-53.html).

Could you tell me if the conversion kit is ok for this frame.

tanks a lot if you have some time for reply

have a nice day

Salut,

Je crois qu'Andrew a raison. La hauter du siege serait trop grande. Vous pouvez essaier une modele avec soit les pneus plus petits soit une barre plus basse.

(Hi,

I think Andrew's right. The height of the seat would be too tall. You can try another model with either smaller tires or a lower bar

Cheers,
Charles)
