I'd urge you to consider a bike with handbrakes. We found the conversion to a
bike with gears MUCH easier if they were already used to handbrakes. Even their
push bike has handbrakes, and our second two daughters pick it up right away
whereas our first two were confused by them at a much later

PM me, if you would. I believe there are 2 sizes of the Beinn 20–one “S” and on
“L.” You can let me know how much you want for it.
Thanks to you all for the suggestions. I’m looking into some of the other
options (Woom 4, Prevelo, Cleary Hedgehog) generously mentioned. The grandsons

VO and Factory Five make some decent faceplate quills, but both are flawed:
VO's has those ugly above-bar bolts on it and a 90-degree bend that results
in some rise, and the F5 Titan's height is 60mm less than the Technomic and
only comes in 90mm extension and for 31.8mm handlebars. I believe
Deborah, I have the Beinn 20, which I think is the 6+ bike. My son outgrew
it. If you want the specs, I can copy the original order for you.
My child cared. He wanted "a bike that looks like daddy's" and the Linus we
got him first was OK, but I really took hook, line, and sinker the

I'm certainly long past the Islabike stage of parenthood, but I'm curious
what Islabikes have to offer that a decent, properly sized child's bike
with drivetrain removed does not?
Besides avoiding the hassle of removing the drivetrain, of course.

This is a Toyo-built Roadeo-quality bike at a less-than-Roadini price, people.
Not my size or I'd have my old Romulus back..step up!

Mark is right about kids’ bike weight - I learned this the hard way with the
lemon bomb that was the Giant 20incher I bought Baby Bear. What a punishment it
was to tackle a hill on that thing. (Heavier than my older son’s Specialized
Hotrock in 24 inches.) The Giant was so bad I sold it months
And to clarify, I don't worry about bike weight, but with kids I think it
can be a negative when a bike ends up to be 35-50% of their body weight.

Yes. Sold the 24" Islabike my son outgrew, got him a WOOM. Very nice bike.
Much lighter that most of the kid's bikes from the major brands. They also
tend to have at least somewhat proportional cranks , handlebars, and brake
levers. I did extensive research and I think the Islabike and the WOOM
Agreed Patrick! We just purchased a very serviceable 24in blue road-ish bike
Raleigh for my 8 yr son at the local bike shop to keep up with the lot of us.

Islabikes is still a successful UK company of origin and HQ . They sell
there and in the EU.
Woom bikes seems to make quality kids bikes for anyone looking.

Here's a review of a 20" version for example :
Worth noting that while Islabikes are wondrously Rivendelian in their approach
to kid's bikes, there are other options that a quite a step above the rest
listed in this thread, so if you don't find a used one, they may be worth a go?
Enjoy the quest!

Re: Islabikes
I expect you might get something here, but if you don't, you might try a post
at the iBob google groups board.
