    Little minx cloudnine is 4 in 4 weeks time and has all but outgrown her cnoc 14.

    She loves the colour yellow and ive seen a good deal (£150) on a commencal ramones 16..
    It looks quite nice but cant seem to find the weight of it.. anyone own one??

    Its the 2014.. how is an alu framed bike that small 9.7kg 😯

    Interesting comment about the high BB.. she can actually ride pretty good so maybe just another Islabike….

    Careful with bb heights on small wheels. A low bb means gounding chainrings on obstacles and can make pump tracks unrideable.

    She clips pedals on our local track on her cnoc14.. but big sis is fine on a cnoc 16.
    Its just the lack of colour choice that had me looking else where.
    The early rider belter looks really nice but no front brake

    Also befuddled how it can weigh almost 10kg when this comes in 3kg lighter

    Maybe, the weights are wrong? My son’s 16″ bike is only 7kg too.

    Yes it does. Front and rear brake according to the website and pictures clearly show it. I was thinking of getting one for my princess.

    I’ve seen it with and without a front brake in a few different photos.. It’s an ace looking bike

    Just so you know, I only got 10 months out of ours, from when my lad was the right size, to it being too small on the 16.

    Personally now, I won’t be buying new, 10 months isn’t long ..

    cloudnine – the original Belter only had a rear brake, but all the new spec ones have both front and rear. Just ordered one for our 5 year old daughter.
