My big sis has asked me for advice on a bike for my nephew. He’s four and a half but she says he’s probably the size of a five year old.
They want something lighter than the Ben Ten one they got him seven months so they can teach him to ride without stabilisers.
From a quick search it looks like Islabikes, Ridgeback, Specialized and Cube are what get the nod mostly, is that still the case? I’m guessing Beinn 20 small, MX20, Hotrock 20 and the kid 200 respectivly, presumably he’ll grow out of anything smaller too quickly?
Do Islabikes still hold their value the best of all those options? I’m not sure it will be too much of a consideration as it will probably get passed down to my niece in time, but good to know anyway.
Any recommendations for a decent bike shop to buy it in would be appreciated too, they live in Highgate? It looks like Camden Cycle Surgery would be a good option as they have all the above except Islabikes…
Cheers
