Nasty, nasty girl..... *laughs*
<explanation>
K-Mart are having a 50% off sale on bikes, so I picked up a 20" Huffy
'Traction' for my 7yo daughter. She has outgrown her 16" singlespeed
bike....She has (yay!!) loved riding her bike, so she's upgrading to a 6-speed
bike with 'grip-shifters'. It has front suspension too - but I suspect
that is 'decorative only'. *laughs* Hopefully my basic knowledge of
bike maintenance will make sure it stays safe to ride (or I can spot
any problems early!!).Main thing is I got a bike that fits her. And at only $75, when she
outgrows it in 12-18 months, I won't be whinging about the cost!!
</explanation>They had $99 Huffy "Vortex" mountain bikes for adults too, if anyone is
interested...Cheers,
Abby (off to plot revenge on Tam...) -

Abby (off to plot revenge on Tam...)Hey Abby,
$75 for the bike, eh?
what did you pay for the wheel truing stand, the workshop stand, the spoke wrenches, the cone spanners, the headset spanners, the pedal spanner, the bottom bracket tools and all the other things you will need to keep a Huffy on the road? :p :p
If upgrading the bikes doesn't keep the kids riding, upgrade the kids.😄

Abby (off to plot revenge on Tam...)Yeah well keep an eye on those 'decorative only' forks.. I think it's Huffy
that have had to recall bikes because dodgy suspension failed and sent kids
over the handlebars. -
