It's cyclescheme time in work again and I can get a voucher for potentially up to £1k for a new bike. My LBS will get me whatever I want for that, and it's time to get little griff a two-wheeler to replace his trike.

There doesn't really seem to be much of a bling range in 12" bikes. The best I can find is the Giant Animator, but the spec looks a bit low-end at £95. I'd rather spend a bit more and get something with a decent groupset. Is the only alternative to by the Giant and see what fits from my parts box?

Islabike CNOC 16 on its way for my 4 yr old.

If your daughter hasn't ridden a bike before I would definitely get a balance bike first. I got my lad one of [url= http://www.mumsnet.com/Reviews/FirstBikes/7 ]THESE[/url] That way you avoid the hassle of then learning to ride with stabilisers and having to wean them off them

spesh hotrock 12", not sure about the groupset though!
coaster brake = big skids when they get good enough.
their hands are strong enought o lock the wheel but their legs are.
funny watching them learn 180's
till the tyre goes through.
