How funny that the conversation turned this way... Just a couple of months ago, I was shopping for a new bike for my daughter, and I'd sent a similar note to Grant, saying it'd be interesting to see his 'expanded sizing' ideas used for a kids bike.
Then recently, Yehuda's had his 'grow bike' idea in the strip. I'd have loved to have gotten a Riv for my daughter, but alas, went more conventional... http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/sport/skye/skye/# Got her the smallest size. It's a nice bike, since it's a women's bike instead of a kids' bike, it has 26" wheels instead of kids wheels. She'd turned 9 just before, and has been loving it http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/5840945443/in/photostream/ . But if I could have gotten a Riv 'kids' frame for her instead, that would have been really lovely. A small Betty Foy might have worked, but, I didn't want to spend *that* much on a bike that could possibly get outgrown; this bike, it'll last her until she is grown (even I can ride it), and then she can get a 'grown-up bike' at that point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
