I bagged an old Giant for £30 off ebay. It is in great condition has rigid forks and decent enough gears, but it weighs a ton compared to her old Ridgeback.
At school theother day I picked up an Islabike Benin 20 Large and instantly had bike envy. It must be 8 pounds lighter!
My daughter likes cycling and I love seeing her ride and have fun and I’m seriously thinking that she deserves an upgrade to the Islabike.
I would consider a Specialized Rockhopper but they are heavier and I don’t see the point of such a basic ineffective suspension fork. Perhaps when she gets the next bike up and was really into mtb then yes.
Ridgeback make decent bikes and are top quality.
Its great to have the option of buying British and that they are the pick of the bunch.
