Kids' Track Bike
Any suggestions for a good children's (7-8 year old) track bike? I'm looking at the Hoy Meadowbank 24" at the moment and it looks pretty decent.
I see that the Islabikes Reiss is no longer available (and he rides one of those at the club, so will probably want one a bit different!).
Frog is the other one I've looked at but apart from being a fairly unpleasant green colour, I can't see that it has any particular advantage over the Hoy?

Hi Dan. I have the 650 version for sale probably v soon if interested. Don't know if you can pm or not for further information...
I think the 650 is likely to be way too big. I'm not convinced he'll fit the 24"! Trying a 24" on Sunday, mIght drop you a pm if that changes my mind on sizing
ok. Suspect I'll have bike a while longer yet
last time I was at a velodrome, a lot of the kids had brought their own Dolan's!
but the velodrome bikes were Modas:
