   Personally I think its ok but how long do you use it for?

   My lad has been riding his for 2 years, he's just turned 4. Can't get the bleeder off it despite him having a pedal bike (Ridgeback MX14) to move up to. His sister is almost big enough for the Rothan now and is itching to have a go, so there may be trouble ahead.

   £120 for a kids bike? Don't Halfords make deathtraps toddler bikes?

   You can tell he's fromYorkshire, can't you?

   I get the impression from the ribbing you get on here that my 2 yr old will probably already have used her balance bike more than you ever use a bike before changing it for something else.

   One thing to consider is that you will have to carry it when junior has had enough. Lightness is a factor.

   Got this when he was 2.5 and this pic was taken when he was 3. Can't recommend these enough. Got him one with pedals for xmas so see how he gets on with the transition. They are a lot of money but they hold there price for resale.

   GW you came onto the topic and acted as though you were almost personally offended. You must admit you were abit negative. Why not be alittle positive? I personally feel (from experience) that the Blur4x is a great bike but not as an only bike for its travel. On a wider note, for the same weight I can get more travel with better suspension feel. Whats wrong with that? Peace.

    not at all, add a smiley to my post if it makes you feel less persecuted.

    nothing's wrong with riding any amount of suspension travel, it may actually be slower and less responsive tho. better suspension "feel" has nothing to do with amount of travel either.

    Hora - you'd happily spend more on a set of tyres than you're prepared to spend on your nippers first bike.

    Great to see you doing everything you can to dispel the stereotypes of tight-arse Yorkshire ****s
