Contemplating a cheap bike to tat about town on, popping to the shops, taking my kids (3 & 6) out on (not offroad) and that.

Years ago I used to muck about with a bit of trials so would be wanting to head off to the local industrial estates to ride the platforms and a few pallets and whatnot, maybe the local skateramp (early in the morning before the yoof turn up) and so on.

Looked at a stock trials bike but the lack of seat would make the riding with the kids bit a pain, also a small framed XC bike or a DJ hardtail.

Something like a Commencal Max Max seems to be an option as a cheap off the shelf option but I've never ridden a DJ bike to know if this will do what I want it to do.

Any ideas?

Ta.

If you want something to ride DJ and skate park, might be worth looking at 24" wheels... longish seat post, so you can put it up for riding into town, and then slam it when riding trails.

How about something like the Spesh P2? (if they still make them)

Cheers, Looked at the P2, there are a few very tidy ones going s/h

not sure about a bmx cruiser though, no front brake and bmx style would make it difficult for doing stuff on the front wheel.
