Title: Help needed choosing bike.
Post by: KGB Matt on May 01, 2007, 05:27 PM: I need some advise please.

Im trying to buy a bike for my son who is 41/2 and have spotted this lil buet but am unsure as to if it will be small enough.( as far as im aware he is average height mabey a lil taller than average)

http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/index.html?pageTitle=Haro_Group_1_CSR_Mini_Bike_2006&pageDesc=Ideal_for_Budding_new_racers_the_CSR_Mini_is_kitted_out_with_smaller_parts_for_Faster_Safer_Racing_T&action=detail&maincatID=0&catID=&prodID=7716&brandID=

Ive tried phoning them but the phone no given is way out. :idiot2:

Hope the link works.

Thanks in advance

Matt

but will be too big for your son i think ? i think the only difference is the handlebars ,the haro's are lower ,

My 4 year old is one one and there is a 5 year old on one in our club.
