As alluded to in the What do your kids ride? thread, http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/sho...ur-kids-ride&p=2716712&viewfull=1#post2716712, I'm scratching through ideas for a Balance Bike for my daughter.
This is a no rush, long term, project that I would like to have ready for Christmas 2014 when she will be 15 months old.
Spent part of Friday night hooking through the nets looking for bits and bobs and I've narrowed it down to two different component build lists, one using Chris King parts and the other using Hope parts. Looking at red coloured parts where possible, so hubs, rims, grips, stem, seat and so on.
Goldcross in The Valley were having a closing down sale, so following up a lead about 12" rims I picked up two 12" Tioga schrader valved tubes for $2 each and 2 x 12" Tioga Comp 3 Chinese knock off tires for $4 each. No 12" rims available, but there were some steel 16" ones, which I didn't bother with.
