Yeah, I know, I could probably drive a harder bargain.
But seriously, I know nothing about them, apart from brand names that used to get thrown around in the early 80s.
I'm thinking about mini-monkey-1's 8th birthday, and whilst they may not be my thing, I think he'd like one.
His previous bikes have been a Ridgeback MX-14, and an Islabike Beinn 20 small (actually current) - neither of which I'm looking to get rid of, as mini-monkey-2 is currently making an orangutan of himself with the Ridgeback, and the Islabike is still used and will eventually be passed to the youngest.
Criteria is new, decent quality, worth fettling if something breaks, so it can be used by evil-spawn-2 when he's of age. Ideally available online, although real shops are an alternative if they're available nearly everywhere. Not sure what to say about budget 'cos I've no idea what these things go for, so I'd just say around the price of a decent quality one - but I guess that's part of my questions - what sort of money you need to spend.
But in the words of Turkish, "I don't want my pants pulled down over the price..."
