kids bikes

Post by paulo »

G'day all, I've been thinking about getting my 9 yr old a trials bike for his next ride. I'm not really into spending thousands on kids bikes that are promptly outgrown, so something more vintage appeals. I was thinking along the lines of a TLM50?

Any thoughts on this or other options?

Cheers

I have a TLM 50 for my boys. Very low gearing and very easy to ride. I think it is probably taller than a TY80. I think I need to clean the muffler out as it is quite sluggish, but this does make it easy to learn on.
