My eldest is still using his Haro Z10 (and absolutely flying on it). But with the quill stem up all the way and seatpost pretty high, he’s nearing its limits. It’s certainly time for Father Christmas to be thinking about the next stage.
He’s mastered pedaling on a trike and balance on a balance bike so the next bike needs to be a proper (with pedals) bike.
As with most of us on here, I don’t want to get him a heavy BSO that’ll put him off riding. Therefore, rigid. Light. SS(?)
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I live in Thailand so choice here is limited. I don’t want a 40kg Ben Ten “bicycle” from Tesco so it will probably have to come out with the next visitors we get from England.
Thanks a lot
FWIW. I saw a stunning balance bike. Brushed alu. Carbon bars and seatpost. Brooks-esque saddle. It would fit him now and for a couple more years. That seems to me a bad move given I’d guess he’s ready to ride properly. Yes?
