Yes. Because, if they are having fun, then the annoying little shit monsters really don't care how much it weighs or how unwieldy it is. Because they are better than we imagine...Ok slightly off topic. Bought this for the little one. It's 8.4kg which is ok compared to most bikes out there like this. Needed some work so I go at it. Man everything is so heavy on there!
Bar and stem combo is pushing a kilo. The fork looks like it's solid steel. The brake lever is obviously not made for kid, the reach is munted and the handle grip required is a fair bit.

Ok so here is the thing I ride bikes, I spend a fair bit on them. It's not really fair if my kid ride a junker (well I paid $50 for it) but whos counting? If you scale the weight up it would be like me riding a 38kg bicycle which is nuts. So the aim is to drop a few kilos. That's where aliexpress comes in.
Fork (-500g): Still questioning if I do this or keep the caliper brakes. It will be a massive weight drop and I don't think there will be structural issues with chinese carbon for a kids bike loaded the way they are. THe main point though is this one is disc

Front disc wheel: Struggling to find anything on aliexpress or anywhere else really. The ones on ali appear to be build more tankish than what I have and the disc ones I found are solid mags for moto! I think my ali searh skills are lacking here.
Brake: Some old M675 levers beacuse they are the only ones I have with reach adjust that's in storage. Put some RT800 rotors on there because they are one of the few without holes for little people to poke fingers through.
Cranks: I also don't know the standard of this crank so will search around for lighter replacements.
Chain/ Chainguard. Plan is to ultimately remove the chain guard and hot wax dip this sucker. Correct me if i'm wrong but I would think the issue is kids touching the grease, not neccessarily them sticking a hand in there? But kids are dumb?
Post; Seems ok, it's some strange 25mm size (1 inch) but integrated with the saddle. Saddle looks heavy but being integrated means it's probably all together not that heavy.
Target weight, 7kg flat
Am I mad?
Couldn't tell you what my Schwinn Sting Ray weighed but I rode the shit out of it when I was 8-11 years old and never thought about the weight.Ok slightly off topic. Bought this for the little one. It's 8.4kg which is ok compared to most bikes out there like this. Needed some work so I go at it. Man everything is so heavy on there!

These have been the best that I've been able to find. A lot of the cheaper stuff is just horrible, it looks good on the outside but poorly made with bits of overlapped material poking into your finger tips and in between the web of your fingers.
