Other than Isla. What options for 11yrd old?

It’s a difficult time as the
It’s a difficult time as the kids are going through huge growth spurts at that age, so investing in a decent bike to last can be a challenge. You may be like me last year, where Louis (12) was on the cusp of fitting an adult bike, so we opted for a second-hand Carrera TDF and tweaked the seat/stem to improve the fit. That lasted until this year and his height has grown so much that he’s just inherited my 58cm Cannondale.
A second-hand ‘stop-gap’ might be the answer – although the Carrera range get some stick, they are robust and although they carry some weight the kids at this age cope with them fairly well – their lightness seems to compensate (but that’s a whole different thread). Importantly the Carrera bikes are cheap second-hand.
