[andybubble]

Hi. New to the forum. been watching it for a few days now. I'm after a 24" wheel bike on a 12" frame for the little lad for christmas. I'm in manchester so could pick up within 40 miles, otherwise would need it posting.

any help would be really appreciated.

cheers guys

hi ya andy, how much you looking at spending, my boy is ready to move to a 26 inch wheeler very soon and he has a mint hardly ridden Gt with discs in the size you are after

thanks for that. you have pm

okay. been thinking about it today and decided that in fact the best bike for the lad would be an islabikes beinn 24, and that i will need to pay the going rate which is actually quite high. those bikes seem to depreciate very little.

anyway if anyone has one or knows someone who has one and wants to sell rather than do the ebay thing then please let me know.

many thanks

andy

Just bought a new islabike benin with 20" wheels for my eldest daughter for christmas.I must admit its a cracking little bike,nice and light.
I did look on ebay ,but two year old ones were going for 150£plus, which is a crazy price when they are 215£ new.
I reckon your better off buying new and selling on as the depreciation is minimal compared to normal mtb.
