DD aged 8 needs a new bike. Wants a change from islabikes, which she's happy to ride on family outings, but hates taking to school because 'it's not a proper girls bike'.
Despite only wanting to wear black clothing, she'd like it in a girls ie pastel colour, and with a dropped top tube.
Any suggestions? She's 145cm, so I think a bit short to hit the adult ranges yet.
My daughter is the same, she has a mountain bike but "you don't use your mountain bike to go to the shops on" so wanted a city bike.
We went to Decathlon and got one of these;

Your daughter is a bit older than mine and taller but they do 24" wheeled ones.

Following from certain rececnt threads...is that a mumsnet-ism?
Oh and I got pink hotrocks from gumtree, the only problem there is heavy front forks - 145 and she's deffo in 24" range, wouldn't go 26" wheels as I think the front wheel gyroscopic effect is too great for them offroad.

And Cube do some very nice practical kids bikes, like [url= http://www.cube.eu/uk/bikes/kids/kid-240/kid-240-cross-girl/ ]this[/url]... might be too practical for your needs though 😉
I have a girls' Trek MT220 which I was going to advertise for sale. Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks all. Some weighty numbers there. 🙂
Have a Raleigh that my eldest has outgrown.
Drop tube, 24" wheels, deep green powdercoat.
