    Hi. His elder brother (7) has a Frog 55 but the younger chap (5 next week) has had a growth spurt which means that he's just blown straight through his 14" aluminium bike. Had thought I'd get the guts of another year out of it.

    Anyone out there with a half decent 16" or 18" bike, or even a very sloped 20" that would be suitable for a lad who's still at the confidence-building stage of his cycling journey?

    Is purple acceptable for a lad?


    If any interest have a Google of a Vitus 16, I've a purple on in the shed being retired this week.


    They are on wiggle/crc. They are a slight step down from the islabike but share similar components and for a slight weight increase are a lot cheaper.


    We've had one kid on the vitus and the other on the islabike and for that she group where there's still knocks and bangs etc the vitus has worked very well for us.
