Stretched@Birth Posted November 21, 2013 Share I've ordered a Frog 62 for our 6 year old from http://za.frogbikes.com/ - Grant Usher is distributing them, nice spec, aluminium frame, so lighter than a lot of the kids bikes out there. The youngest is still on the JD Bug, great bikes to teach balance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyjim Posted November 21, 2013 Share Balance bikes are defiantly the way to go. We had to find some bikes for our twins - Double Trouble.We searched around and checked all of the specification of the various balance bikes, and found a photo of the Strider distributor riding one? I don't know how much he weighs but seems to be heavy enough! The other bikes are all very heavy and don't let the kids ride them from as young or to as old. Our twins are only 16 Months now and free wheeling already.I pulled this off their facebook site. https://www.facebook.com/XSTREAMBALANCE Our research led us to find that the Strider was the lightest, strongest and most cost effective bike with the best geometry and adjustability. They don't have a shop in Cape Town and we were very dubious ordering them online, but got them within 3 days and were so pleased that we did. Unpacking them was awesome and we have had fun ever since. I cant wait for these dare devils to be big enough to start standing and jumping. These guys are doing is remarkable stuff and cant wait for them to come to the Cape. I think we will get a few accessories if the Mrs allows the budget for some pimping. They have a new full aluminum model coming out and weighs only 2.2kg's maybe we will wait for those.strider-st-4.htmlStrider Oufy MTB (Roadie) and striderdad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clippies Posted November 21, 2013 Share My Daughter (on her front wheel) learnt to ride on a micro racing BMX. You wont find a lighter bike which she used to race BMX and MTB lap races!! Oufy MTB (Roadie), Hairy and striderdad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted January 2, 2014 Share My little guy on his BIG bike. It is a bit big for him, but the size down would not last him long at the rate he's growing. Must say, I'm very impressed by the build quality and component spec of the Frog bikes! All aluminium makes it nice and light. the nerd, NotSoBigBen and Oufy MTB (Roadie) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawieO Posted January 2, 2014 Share Frogbike FTW! Just swapped out the slick tyre for a set of knobblies and my daughter is tearing it up! Been looking for a quality kids bike for a year or so and this ticks all the boxes. Well done Grant! Stretched@Birth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted January 2, 2014 Share I had trouble finding a pedal bike for my 3yr old cause he is on the 'smallish' side and his balancing bike he mastered. The bike shops were actually useless. Actually ended up getting a bike at PnP for R400, he loves it. Soon I will buy him the 16inch Titan, his brother is 2 turning 3, and the 3rd boy is due in March, so hand me down opportunities make any investment worthwhile.

I must say the LBS don't have a great range and the Game/Makro is Game/Makro. I found fixed cogs, back pedal brakes, bikes with only rear or front brakes. I just wanted a bike that will operate like all his future bikes and PnP surprisingly saved the day. He didn't need the sidewheels and is now getting the hang of front brakes, hands can barely reach though. all I need now is all these people to keep their dogs on leashes so that I don't freak out everytime. 'yes they do bite, and maul children, can't take chances' enough examples. just needed to get this off my chest. RodTi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
