Looking for a new bike for my 8 year old girl.
She is a very strong rider for her size (130cm) and can happily handle some trail centre blues.
She is beginning to outgrow her 20" wheel bike and I now need to start considering where to go next.
I want something that will last her a few years, ideally as a last "child's" bike as I already have a 26" wheel, 13" frame specialised built up in the garage.
Any suggestions?
There was a thread on kids bikes recently and the 2017 Saracen mantra 2.4 looked pretty nice.
get a good light set of 24" wheels, and a set of shorter ranks to turn the small 26, in a good size 24" wheeled bike. When she's out grown it, the wheels can go back to 26 and cranks to normal.
.....thats if it's a disc compatible frame that is....

Bewildering choices 🙂
Orbea 24 MX Team for my lad, absolutely loves it and swapped the drivetrain to a spare 10 speed set I had.

Do like the look of that Saracen...... any real world (STW) feedback?
Bigwill, looks good, unfortunately the wrong side of the country, let me know if it doesn't shift and you're willing to post.
