Pompetamine as a ki...
 

[Closed] Pompetamine as a kids bike..... is this a stupid idea.

My eldest daughter has outgrown her very nice Islabike which will now be handed down to one of her sisters.
For some reason I was just wondering whether a small On-One Pompetamine would make a decent kids bike?
Realistically I can't see her doing a lot of off-road (probably 90% on road and 10% pottering around the fireroads at Delamere).
The current pick and mix frame bundle offer seems pretty good.

Any thoughts?

I'll have to check later but she's probably not far off 5'1"

5'1" is too small IMO - i had a small Pompino, it fitted fine and i'm 5'6". I think someone of that height would be more comfortable on a bike with 650c wheels.

Tow over lap on a small frame is likely I would have thought.
