Re: [RBW] Re: Future Rivs (current options for kids)

[James Warren]

I don't have kids, so I'm only guessing, but how would something like this be?

James,

I was going to pipe in that specialized has had some really nice kids
bike (mixed in with not so nice ones) over the last 10 years. I would
recommend checking them out along with the Kona ones.

I just replied over in the other thread (didn't realize this one had
spun off);

Instead of a true kids' bike, I went with the smallest ladies MTB bike
for my 9-yr-old daughter; it dodged the 'kids-size' wheels, has
regular 26" MTB wheels on it, is big enough that I can raise the
seatpost and ride it myself, but with it all the way down, she can
easily handle it.

I'd have loved to have seen her riding a Riv kids' bike instead; even
considered a Betty Foy, but, that's a bit more than I'd want to spend
on something that might get outgrown....

I like the idea of a small 26er, but they're still hard to find w/out a sus fork.  Specialized looks nice, thanks for the link!

Expression on child's face says you did well!

James,
Occasionally, I can manage to do something right.... :) You're
right, tho', she really is happy w/ it; has made a nice replacement
for the last one she outgrew...




David,
I understand, and yes, her Trek does have a suspension fork; but,
otherwise, it was okay... (not a Riv, but, suitable for her growing-
stage...).

Specialized older steel stuff is a great choice. My son has a bunch of
miles on a 24" wheeled Hardrock converted to a 1x7 with a chain guard
and guide plus better brakes, brake levers, shifter, saddle, and other
stuff. Norco also built a bunch of steel 24" wheeled bikes, along with
others. Our bikes for the homeless shop has some that could be had for
cheap....except for shipping, of course.

All the best,
Chris

I've found older Trek 220 models to be pretty good.  Heavy as all get out though.  Other than that, real good bikes!

Scott (the bloggist formerly known as LFoaB) bought his daughter a tiny Long Haul Trucker. She rides more miles than most of us on it!

[cyclotourist]

Yes, that's a really smart choice.  There aren't many options in 26" drop bar bikes.
