Title: Its upgrade time
Post by: muttley on September 23, 2009, 10:38 AM

For me boy.

Typical, i spend time getting his little GT made lighter for him and a new colour and 2 months later he's bleeding grown out of it   :D

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v605/muttley/IMG00018-20090903-0951.jpg)

So i had a look round and the first thing i noticed was the 14" market is not really catered for by the 'Proper' manufacturers.
Sure i could go and buy a 14" Postman Pat bike with all the plastic bits on it from Halfords but i have standards  ::)

Thinking about it i suppose kids aren't on 14's long enough before they have grown out of them.

So off we go on a Saturday afternoon and come with this

Felt Heretic 16, twas a bit big for him but a trusty pivitol seat and post combo sorted that   :daumenhoch:

Praise the lord for 'proper' bike manufacturers   :4_17_5:

Post by: muttley on September 24, 2009, 10:04 AM

Dont think they do Matt, only 18's i have seen are the Kink, Hoffman, WTP, Haro,

Personally i would go for the Kink   ;)
