    My brother built up a couple of these for his twins - 20" wheel version. To be honest it sounded a right faff and I'm not sure he's ever added up what it actually cost. Nice project if you're looking for one, but if you just want a decent value kids' bike you'd probably be better off buying a second hand Isla / Frog etc, looking after it then cashing in when you sell it on.

    Totally agreed. But my daughter who is 5 helped me all summer building her bike, and she rides a one of a kind bike. If you can afford the bespoke parts and you can invest the time it's totally worth it!

    whats wrong with the bottom bracket shell?
    A bit of facing and chasing I can handle (I think I've got a tool somewhere) but sounds a little worrying that the frames aren't made very well.....

    It needs chasing and facing. That's all that is wrong. The frames are OK. They are no cervelos though!
