Ok

The default answer for any question on Kids bikes is Islabikes. They're generally accepted to be the best in the business, however a new Beinn 24 is £349 which puts it out of my price range. Secondhand prob isn't an option either as we live in NI and few want to freight a bike over.

as I see it the shortlist is


Specialized Hotrock £269

Specialized Areva £260

Felt Q24 -SALE £219

Giant Xtc Jr 1 - £295

Carrera Luna

Has anyone any thoughts or advice....considering that I don't know anything about 'bouncy forks' and suchlike

To me the Felt Q24 seem to be the best value

    I've already posted this in Commuting but Mohammed doesn't always go to the mountain.

    The Carrera bikes are great value.I`ve been looking at the Carrera Blast 24 for my lad.Its currently £190 on offer.Much better value than the big brands.My daughter has A Carrera Luna 20 and its a great little bike.

    Being the impatient sort I already ordered the Felt

    Mistake?

    You didn't give us much chance to reply! Bought my 9 yr old a Raleigh Diva this summer and she likes it - but that's not much use to you now.
