My oldest daughter has just about outgrown her beinn 26 small. initially i just thought about ordering the large version (the small will be passed down to the our youngest and the beinn 20 sold).
I now see that frog have appeared and they look pretty good in comparison, and the equivalent (Frog 69) is by far cheaper.
But i'm now considering whether i should just have a look at small ladies entry mountain or hybrid bikes. Any recommendations? What puts me off a mountain bike is the weight of forks on a cheaper bike so for that reason i'd probably be looking for a rigid bike, and for the same reason i like the 1x9 speeds on the beinn and frog.
thoughts please
We struggled
In the end we put my 11yo on a Decathlon 8.1 and changed the fork spring for an extra soft.
Other options were the Boardman small women's (even though he's a boy) and a Genesis Core.
Very happy with the Decathlon
But it's all a bit of a leap up in price, mainly because it's hard to find ones without cheap pogo-stick forks.
