Dilemma - Modern or Retro for Mini Ken

[The Ken]

Spoiling him? Depends how he rides, I wouldn't hesitate if miniKen needed a full size bike, much better than forking out for a PS3, and they go outside on them too.

Lovely bike, Let me know when he's out grown it

Couldn't agree more

And by the way, I'm first in line if WR sells, I want that for Jade......

I too have a kids two sons age 4 and 2.

I don't see the point in old retro bikes for kids such as the 24" wheel Zaskar, mainly because bike developement and trails have moved on a bit since then, and the Zaskar was only a scaled down adult bike with old school geometry. Newer kids bikes such as the Specialized are more designed with young riders in mind.

The Specialized A1 FSR kids bike is rather decent with suspension spring rates and geometry designed for kids, inspiring more confidence and comfort.

The Kona Stuff looks good to me - if I was a lad that age then that's the sort of thing I'd be after, not least because Konas are "more cool"...

I think that Kona Stuff's got a better fork than what I've got on my bike.
