Has anyone got suggestions for where to get levers for a kids bike (6 year old kid)
The bike is pretty cheap (much to my dismay) but the wife refused to spend to much in case she didnt use it. Of course the kid loves it and would be out everyday.
Ive thought of biting the bullet and just buying a frog or something similar but will try this avenue first and weigh up the cost...
The brakes are standard center bolt cantilevers so v brakes wont work as there is no posts to bolt the arms too.

Tried ebay?
I bought some little resin ones for my kid's bike when he was that age. They were ideal. Cheap too. (Obviously wouldn't suit the Islabike snobs, but sounds like you're not one of those 😉 )
