I am looking for a very basic 26 inch hybrid or rigid MTB bicycle.
My son is growing so fast that he nearly fits on my 26" old MTB (I am 5"5) but Vitus (CRCs) brand stops at 24 inch for kids bikes and so does the Carrera Abbyss.
After that you go into kids MTBs with suspension which is over budget for what needs atm and the decathlon non-road models are made of gas pipe with extra lead.
The Wiggins Chartres might be ok? Used is also OK, does planet X or others do very basic 26" wheeled bikes?
[living in Northern Ireland means ebay is tricky most sellers simply won't ship...and nobody pays the extra for a branded bike so splashing on a Frog/Hoy/Islabike is just pointless]
Tx :)
