Looking for a kid's bike

Post by John D »

Looking for something basic, with 20" wheels, to fit an an 8yr-old. Doesn't need gears, coaster brake is fine, too.

Trek Pro City sells used and new kids bikes and they have a trade in program where you can get up to 50% of the cost of the bike back when your kid outgrows it

John, I have a 5 spd Norco, pinkish colour. Has had lots of use, but everything is working well.

Thanks Greg;

Hmm...depends on whether I can convince a 7yr-old boy that "pinkish" really means "red". I'll let you know.

Greg: if things don't work out for John, I might have a fan of pink who could take your bike off your hands. Her birthday's at the end of the month. :)

Hi Greg...really sorry for not replying before now. In any case, apparently "pinkish" is NOT red, according to 7yr-old boys. I hope Rolf's daughter enjoys the bike!

John, I've got two bmx bikes that we are going to get rid of. One is a cool retro chrome frame, and the other is a decent Kuwahara Hawk. $25 and $50 respectively. Two brakes, one speed..lots of fun. PM me if interested (or anyone else)

Hi Rob...thanks, but we found a suitable bike just yesterday! I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding someone to take these off your hands.
