Kid's Bike Suggestions

I too have a 7 year old who is growing fast.

I found one of these in great shape on our local craigslist for just $75:

This summer, I will be adding drop bars and STI type shifters. Rather than plunking down a lot of money for a low quality bike from a department type store, just watch craigslist for the various 24" wheeled used bikes out there, if you have a little patience, I think you will find something for a very good price that will meet your needs and will adapt to your growing son.

hope that helps,

Wish you were closer, I have the perfect bike for you! My kid recently outgrew his Schwinn Midi Mesa 24" 3-speed mountain bike. It's a "Schwinn Select", which means LBS quality, not available at Walmart/Target/etc. Original MSRP was $410, I think I paid ~$280 for it new as an REI closeout.

I've recently spiffed it up, and was waiting for the weather to break to post it on the local craigslist for $125. If you have any interest, I can look into shipping costs. I recently had a bike shipped to me, so I have a box in my garage. I think the little Schwinn might fit in with only the handle bars and pedals removed.

[EDIT] Ad copy attached, although that's a stock photo. Would take actual photos if interested.
