To increase the SNR, I went down the rabbithole a bit further.
While I know it is not directly related to kids bikes, but Signal pulled off a bit of a marketing stunt in 2019 with their team riding on their "budget" market bikes (with custom mods) to 38th place. I remember it being a big part of the launch material when they launched the Signal Elite hardtail.
In 2023, they followed up with the Signal Spectre, their Full sus model. It looked pretty ready to go, even if prototypes and custom paint/gear. They came in 36th, 2nd in the amateur cat just behind these ringers called Docker and Boswell.
here's the bike, and the story . It's been 20 months and I don't see it in the flesh yet.
so ja, it would appear to me that Signal are in a bit of a pause and reset stage, hence issues finding stock. Maybe they still have big plans, I like competition, it would be sad to see a morewood repeat.
