Thanks for all the bananas
Hi all,
My son is 10 (will be 11 in May) and we've promised him a quality mountain bike in July if he reaches some specific milestones.
He currently rides a Merida Matts Jr 24 (24" wheel) with grip shift gears, cantilever brakes and a 60mm front fork (it's stiff as shit). He enjoys riding the trails with me and mainly does green and a few easy blues.
I want to buy him something (either new or used) that he can grow with for the next two or three years until he's 13/14, by which point his sister can inherit it!
The bike specs I'm trying avoid (but might not be able to) are -
PS. My budget is $750 - $1,000
Update: Increased budget and son's height.
