Item: 24 or 26 inch bike
Location: Central Coast NSW
Price range/Willing to Pay:$0-$300
Extra Info:

I'm chasing a 24" bike (perfeably) rigid or xs hard tail for my 9 and 7 year old. Will be for xmas so I'm getting in early. They're roughly 130cm tall and do almost all their riding on the bike path (maybe 40km a week) but the wife and i are keen to get them off the path more.

My son loves his scott scale 24 jr plus.
He's ridden it on grt north road, ourimbah track around the graveyard, bottom bit of downhill and numerous other places. No issues with it so far, tho the drivetrain is pretty "basic" no clutches etc to be found here! your welcome to come have a look at it!

You could spend alot more on something that could take 26" wheels down the track but I figure if he gets 3-4 years out if this he'll be ready for a better bike! He still rides his 20" bmx alot, especially anywhere that is flat or skate park etc..

Still chasing one. Prefer an XS 26"
Knuckles keeping the one I had, but he has an XS Scott frame I could embellish. $300 is a bit unrealistic though. I don't have parts low end enough for that kinda brass, sorry.
