As above for my daughter,has anyone got any good recommendations? Thanks.
for what? (type of riding)
Trek MT220 was (and still is) a good bike.
Halfords had some good ones last year. Isla bikes are good too, but never owned one.
Just general riding around,she's got a giant taffy mtb at min so something similar I suppose.
DMR Drone - almost unbreakable and very cool.
Marin Bayview Trail girls is lovely!
for top(ish) end...
Light with decent spec - Isla
pricy but light and well spec'd - Scott
reasonably light but more Durable - Spesh
mid price (but decent)..
Ridgeback
Carrera
if for some inexplicable reason you want expensive, massively heavy, won't actually fit, no vertsatility (gears/tyres/fork) and totally overkill for a 9? yr old girl go with Gengh's recommendation of a DMR Drone! 😉
(as is the 1st rule of bike recommendation on here, I'm guessing he has one himself 😆 )
Ha ha ha GW,pretty funny,I reckon it might be slightly overkill for her,will check the others out.
my daughter had the giant she has a spec hotrock bombproof
I have a 24" wheel Hotrock for sale if the OP's interested. Older steel frame version, quite well used so more a first mountain bike than a spangly present. My daughter used it from age 7 to 13.
Cheers mate but it's a pressy so best get a new one.
opted for this one,built it up today and very impressed,think she'll like it. http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/giant-mtx-225-fs-kids-bike-silver-id54080.html
We have Kona Hula 24 - ace wee thing, great handling, OK spec, but a frame geometry more suited to the shorter end of things (quickly outgrown).
We also have a Scott Jr Racing 24" and it is lighter, faster, better spec but a geometry more suited to the taller lot - took him longer to get off the 20" but now fits much better compared to brothers Kona.
For general riding my gf`s daughter has a Dawes Bandit.More towards a hybrid,but probably suits most kids of this age better.Cheaper than the alternatives too.
