My daughter has out grown her Trek MT60 (20" wheel) and with her birthday just round the corner it seems an ideal opportunity to get her a new bike. FWIW she's average height for her age -140cm, and has a 68cm inside seam.
I've taken her round a few LBS / Halfords and she's sat on a Dawes Vixen, Trek MT220, Specialized Hotrock and the A1 FS version, as well as a Carrera blast (nowhere has the Luna built up)! However each LBS has warned that she's near the max for a 24" wheeled bike and tried to push me to get a XS framed adult bike.
I don't want to waste money on a new bike she'll grow out of in a year, the Islabikes option is too expensive (£350!), but I also don't want to push her on to an adult bike too soon!
So any recommendations on the largest framed 24" wheel bike or a small women's bike with reach / crank length to match?
Thanks - Rufus.
