Saracen Hoax 20inch wheel 11 inch frame

I am looking at a second hand mountain bike for my son who is a small 7 and loves his Ridgeback 16 inch MTb. I am familiar with usual good advice about weight and crank length etc. I just wondered if others have experiences of using this Saracen bike. Can't find any feedback or reviews. Cheers

I have a 20 inch bike for sales in kids sale section. It is Rbk brand but is identical to a previous Saracen bike I had for the other son. I can't remember whether it was called a Hoax or not but have a look at the pictures to see if it's what you are looking for. Manufacturers in the far east brand the same bikes with different names so it will likely be similar.
Both the Saracen and the Rbk clone have been good bikes and although not very lightweight they always seemed tough and the 48 spoke BMX wheels in particular looked pretty bombproof for hitting kerbs at speed.
