Firstbike Balance bike for sale

Konkers

Folks,
I have one of these for sale.
http://www.firstbike.com/bikes/firstbike-street-red/
It comes with the back brake and lowering kit. I’ve had it for circa 3.5 years and two boys have had great use of it. It’s really light and very durable. One of the best purchases I’ve made for our two lads in terms of getting around. Between the bike and the lowering kit, they currently cost overGBP110 before delivery per Amazon.co.uk so I’d sell for c €100 before delivery. I don't think its suitable for posting so collection in Dublin 2 during working hours or Churchtown out of working hours.

Price drop to €80

Full carbon?

Konkers

Endacl,
No - from the website " FRAME High-tech, injection-molded composite frame doesn't scratch, splinter, swell, or rust like wood or metal frames (GFT frame is made of 30% glass fiber reinforced nylon composite). Extremely lightweight, high-strength yet flexible, and durable material (weatherproof). "

Konkers

Final price drop to €65.

Oh and my wife reminded me that this is not 3.5 years old, we replaced it's predecessor that was stolen from outside the crèche 2 years ago. Will post actual pictures if there is any interest.

Great bike, both my kids and half the neighbourhood kids have learned balancing skills on one of these bikes. Highly recommended
My daughter took to her pedal bike straight away, by passing stabilizers all thanks to one of these.

Thanks Fathead. Point the neighbours who don't have one in my direction.

Best of luck with the sale.
Stealing a child's balance bike really is the lowest of the low....

Thanks Peterx. My wife left it on the curb for 5 mins whilst she ran in to get the pram. Just goes to show.

It might sound like I am taking the pish, but I am not! what age child(height child) is this suitable for (minimum, not max), I have a couple of friends whose children, I might be interested in buying this for.

My little boy is a tall 3 year old. Would that suit, or is it for younger kids? Genuine question! And would be interested to see actual pictures, too
Cheers

Konkers

At wheel01 and scaryfairy.

I can only talk from personal experience.

My youngest is 4 years and 6 months. He only recently stopped using it because his older brother hit a new bike, so we are trying to move him up. I'd need to measure him but he must be 3 feet tall. Both kids were going to the crèche everyday 2kms away on this bike from when they were 18 months.

Hope this helps. I'll post actual pictures later today.

I'd be willing to offer you 40 for it , and I can pick up Dublin 2 anytime during the week, my little fella is probably still a little small for it but still...
Thanks anyway and good luck with the sale

Sorry but you will have to go higher than that.

sshort

Sent pm regarding bike, thanks.

Sorry sshort, per forum rules all offers should be made in thread and I can only respond to offers made in thread. To do otherwise would be unfair others.

Konkers

Sorry Sshort, I can't sell it for that. This bike is quality enough to be used by a couple more kids. It will cost 2 and a bit times what i am asking to import with the lowering kit.

sshort

Ok, good luck with sale

eims89

Konkers
