I need a swag kids saddle. All black / small logos / max 240mm length. Any suggestions?

I am spending waaaay to much mental capacity on figuring out how to build up my daughter's new bike.
Latest in ideas I don't have time for is to use my Tune Fast foot 94bcd spider (I bought for some Tune arms that are now cracked) to fabricate a new chainset lile the one on the green bike.
This also means an opportunity to support Stridsland with a chainring purchase.

All this cutting and brazing and figuring out is great. The tiny fork! The effort that went into those dropouts!

But what colour is it going to be?

This I think

superb. love the way the top tube flows into the stays. #chefskiss

Very nice. Long and slack geo bang on trend.

lol fckn sick

Thanks peopz.

75° ST and 65° HT on 2.25x16" tyres = 66mm trail.
It has that modern progressive hardtail look but the trail is pretty touring/utility. Which is great for both going to kindergarten and shredding local trails.

Great colour. That's not RAL is it?
Frame is real cool...

Thanks. No no no! This will actually be painted properly by Andreas Carbel aka Carbel Colours. He is painting @Tijmen s ATB as well.

My daughter found a starfish this weekend and we agree that it is "the moodboard" for the build.
The bike is for exploring and mini adventures so makes sense to take inspiration from something she found trawling the beach with my mom. A beach they got to by cycling together mind!
@Tijmen is going to make her a framebag that might feature a translucent/transparent pocket for important collectables and a bigger compartment for pebbles, cones and other stuff we need to bring back to the house.

You should see our stick collection!
You'd be surprised how many magic wands and important hiking canes that are just left behind and scattered all over our forest floor.

So cute

Oh my god yessssss, I'm going to be so jealous.

Mads being Mads, the pocket is not allowed to be a transparent plastic. It will be the lightest weight Dyneema I can get for those Japanese hiker UL vibes.

I feel judged!

Have you lot ever seen a map pocket that didn't crack eventually?

I have an Ortlieb map pocket from years ago that didn't crack but it is an especially floppy plastic and has gone a bit yellow instead.

Are you selling these little bikes as she grows out of them? Asking for my 2yo that is getting really into bikes...

Quite a few have expressed similar interest. But I sort of want to keep them for now. My son is 7mo and will be shredding next spring for sure.
And then maybe they will be sold but it will be two years before the balance bike is no longer relevant and then another two before the 12" is up for grabs... And by then I might have gotten sentimental and want to keep the bikes for my grandchildren ;-)

I have thought about making a rental business tho. You only have kids bikes for a period of time and the bikes get scruffed up but never destroyed so You could lease a kids bike for a couple of years and then have it fixed up and passed on... But I haven't done the math yet
