• This is a great little bike and I reckon it's absolutely up there with Islabikes. Everything is properly scaled down (e.g., short reach brake levers, 114mm cranks) while still being proper quality, alloy components (the crankset is work of art!). Likewise the gears are a proper 7-speed Shimano system (on-trend 1xn). As a result it's a lovely, lightweight bike, which is a pleasure for littlies (aged roughly 6-9) to ride. Actual weight is 8.4kg according my scales (rather than the questionable quoted weight of kids' bikes).

    This is the larger (11" frame) of the models, which I can't find online for less than £270.

    The only change I've made is to replace the quick-release saddle clamp with a Selcof allen-key collar I'll include the QR collar along with the spare derailleur hanger, front reflector and original owner's guide and assembly instructions.

    Photos are here, saddle is shown at its highest extent.

    We bought it at the end of 2015, but it's not had half as much use as I'd like. You can see from the photos that the tyres still have the little tags left on from manufacturing. As a result it's absolutely top-notch in terms of functionality, but it has got some scratches on the paintwork and brake arms from being stored alongside the family's other bikes. Check out the photos to see the extent of it.

    The full spec of the current model is given here. This one differs in that it has riser bars, which I think are more adaptable and slightly narrower tyres.

    £125 Pickup from SW London, give me a shout with any questions.
