Lightweight, neighborhood kids of all ages love it
1 year ago
This bike fits a wide range of sizes. I had all of the neighborhood kids try it out. I have an average size 8 year old who has officially stolen the bike and he loves every moment of it. It is a little on the large size for him but he refuses to give it up. With the amount of adjustments he truly does fit this bike. This size is great for 10-16 year olds. I can even ride it comfortably as an adult. It is extremely light and the gear shifts very smoothly. I think the light weight it what makes my kid love it so much. Only draw back is the paint scratched very easily. Not sure where the scratch came from and it is merely cosmetic, so not a deal breaker to the kids.
