Kid's 24" hybrid, non-mountain bikes, where to buy in the U.S.?

Add $25 for duty charges as well. So about $300 when all is said and done, pretty expensive for a kid's 7 speed bike. When you go to the total, there is no duty (or it's included). So the total would be $286 for the 21 speed and $269 for the 7 speed. I reversed the two prices above. For that kinda cabbage, I'd actually buy one of those GMCs and see if I could make it more kid friendly, or even return it if the quality truly was appalling. It's not like the Miele is specced any nicer by the looks of things. I'd probably swap out the bar on the GMC for something more kid friendly, or add cross extensions. I'm wondering if those twist shifters would work on a flat bar or some moustache bars...Pricing it up, you could go flat bar with Tourney shifters, a basic bar, and some cheapie levers for $30ish extra. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I think that those shifters would work on a flat bar just fine. I think for $200-225 you could turn the Denali into something decent. I also think that maybe a step-through frame 13.5" hybrid bike would be retrofittable by reversing the stem, and maybe by getting rid of the suspension seat post so the seat could go lower. |
