For their child that is!
Daughters on her 2nd Islabike now and I'm looking at upgrading to the Creig 24. Air forks with lockout X5 drivetrain and Avid Elixir 3 brakes.

Not cheap at £650.
Any pro's & cons from anyone who's child runs one? Worth the price tag?
A kid at our club has one. It's lovely, really nice...but I did wonder if it was worth the money (and that is coming from an Islabike fanboy).
For £650 there must be some small, light frames out there that could be built up nice and light.
My son is on a Beinn 24 and I'm starting to look around to see how I can get him a proper mountain bike next, for cheaper than £650...
try and get your hands on one to see how you feel then.
Cheers Lister,
Im booked in with Islabikes for a fitting on Saturday 30th Nov so will get to see one in the flesh then.
I have been looking around for a smaller frame to build up for her but I suppose the £650 price-tag comes down to the scaled down kit on it.
Santa has ordered my daughter one last week, all my three children ride Islabikes you get the extra money back anyway when you come to sell.
