Does anyone still make a kid's road bike?

I'm looking for something a bit lighter than the steel mountain bike type bikes, with 20" wheels,
suitable for a 6 year old.

TIA,

Got a web site? All that comes up is a custom tandem maker.... Not quite what I was looking for.

Yes - but they can be like hen's teeth to locate Also be prepared to find them *expensive* in
relation to other types of kid's bike. Makes .... hmmm... can't remember any specific ones but I
have seen kids riding road bikes at events over here in the UK - look just like adult road bikes but
scaled down.

Cheers, helen s

I know that Argon makes a kid's road bike. I've seen a few kids with Argons, which is, of course
because they are local (Montreal). You won't find them in department stores, however, if that's what
you're looking for.

Sometimes I see this father and son, both have argons. The kid looks about 12 or so and they go on
rides together. The kid keeps up a pretty good clip! The dad looks like a racer or pretty serious
roadie. I figure great, at least the kid isn't sitting at home eating cheesies and playing DOOM.

Nope. He's actually sitting at his friends' house, playing _Return to Castle Wolfenstein_ or _Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City_.

Try "Devinci".

http://www.devinci.com/

I didn't see any kid's bikes on their site.

go to ebay and search for something like "road bike" or maybe "schwinn" then find the bike she
wants, then add/fix whatever, much cheaper than a new bike

this link may work http://search.ebay.com/search/search...gi.ebay.com%2F
