Lightweight boys bike

bluben79

Hi there I'm looking for a lightweight 24" wheel bike for my stepson. He's 7 but very tall. He has a condition called hypermobility which makes his muscles and ligaments tire very quickly so a lightweight bike is a must. Not bothered with suspension as he can only manage flat rides. Any ideas? Top budget £175

Cheers

Your best bet is the Islabikes Beinn 24" - above your budget at £210 new, but you might well find it on Ebay. They fetch a good s/h premium price.

If you can't stretch to an Isla bike, you might want to try the Carrera Subway 24 from halfords - see this post: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071204054407AAIbeJZ

Have seen one in the shop, but there is no information on Halfords website - typical!!
