I love it. Scale it up for 29er big apples, and sell one to me. I like the 20" mini/junior bmx race wheels on my son's Redline. He rode that bike for 4 or 5 years, from barely straddling it at 5, to "dude, you need a new bike." Which was met with "I hate riding bikes anyway." Peaked early, I guess.
I think the bike could be a good rider for longer than two years, especially if the seat tube was excessively slack, or changed direction mid-tube like Jeff Jones' bikes.
