Cheers BT,My 9yo is on a 24" Ramones and it's a little big for him. He's used to it now and he'll grow into it more of course, but there's a lot of advice saying that you should get the correct fit, so it's easier for them and doesn't turn them off. The biggest issue i noticed is the kids hands aren't quite big enough on the larger sizes, in order to grab the brakes properly. That could be remedied though, with a different brakeset.
I reckon get the 20inch, so she's comfortable and confident. There's a decent market for 2nd hand kids bikes, so you should be able to sell when she grows out of it, in order to help fund that 24 inch Meta.![]()
She has a little brother that will destroy what she hands over in pristine condition. On one hand I feel bad that he won't get a new bike for years but on the other hand he is inheriting some cool bikes. Knowing that a 9 year old is finding a 24" a little big and not considering the reach on the brakes has definitely helped the decision making process.
