not sure, we haven't had many kids bikes in this thread yet...
still wanted to show the one my little lady is riding since a few weeks:
It's a Dynamic Kid 20 frame with very nice Dynamic Dynalight dropouts.
Some pics of frame and the full kids bike like sold in 1994
The fork at our one seem to be hand built by Werner Juchem, a very nice one...
As this is the all-round bike for my little one I have replaced the crappy and heavy Shimano MJ2 triple chain ring crank to a modern lightweight one from Kubikes, and therefore dropped with that alone almost 500g weight. Obviously my 6 year old isn't missing more gear choices
All other stuff is also a compromise of being kids-ready (like the brake lever), lightweight but also a bit cool and nice. The rear mech is an old RX100, but tuned quite a bit, perfect fit due to the small size for this little bike.
The Grafton decals are just a bit like a homage at the nice Grafton bike from Sevysa back in 1994, but sure as my little one is riding this and sometimes it's parked if not lying around in front of her friends house, of course using real Garfton parts not just cheap look-a-like cantilever from Indonesia would be a shame.
