Do you have an Islabike Beinn 20 small that we could test-drive?

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting one of these for my 6yo and wondered if anyone had one that they would be kind enough to let her have a quick try on? They sound amazing but are sooo expensive that I really want to be sure it's the right choice!

Thanks

For a 6 year old, I'd try testing out a 20 large too. My average sized 5 year old can just about ride the large already. He still has a 16" bike, but he likes to borrow a friends 20" in the park sometimes.

You can also try Frog bikes at Balfe's Bikes in ED and Bon Velo in HH. They are very similar to Islabikes.

thanks - I'll try and check both. A friend has also suggested the Hoy kids bikes which are very new but seem to have similar design principles and are even lighter.

Head over to Herne Hill velodrome. They have Frog bikes sessions where you can try them out. I the Herne Hill Youth Cycling club also based at the velodrome have Islabikes.
