<< < (4/4)

Gary72:
Stace where are you based. I now have 3 16inch bikes in my possesion, all different.
My 6 1/2 year old lanky git, is now on a Hoffman Scarab 16 and got on fine today at Skateram only got it Thursday. weight around 26lbs with no pegs or front brake. 16 inch top tube. £180
He was riding a 2004 GT Bestwick pro HEEEAAAVVVY even with gyro, front brakes removed, pegs cut down 17 inch top tube, he could jump off a ramp no problem but hops and wheelies were really hard.14mm axles allround. Ebay buy.
He really likes riding his little brothers GT MACH ONE, 15 1/2 inch top tube, 10mm axles, think I paid £90, but it weighs about 22 lbs. so he is able to throw it around abit

He was riding around today with a kid on 18 WTP, which to be honest looked to big for my son, weight wise felt OK. nice components though.

If your not to far away I'm based in Chigwell, Essex so could arrange to try them.
