I hope Riv moves this from the back burner to the middle burner if not the
front burner. I am ready to pre-pay for one now.

I am SO in on this. And I don't even have kids yet!

This is just s fantastic.  I totally obsess on kid bikes and have
sequential bikes from 12" to 24" for pretty much the whole neighborhood.
Coming up on 26" (and looking hard for a 90's 13" Hoo Koo E Koo or Trek 950
if someone has one stashed somewhere...) now, then on to 650b and 700c/29er
territory!

I looked long and hard to find a GREAT 20" KHS Montana.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/4302651574/  I moved my kids on
to hand brakes and gears as soon as I could (this bike is ridden by my 5
y.o.).  But oh how I would have loved to have a semi-lugged Rivendell
for them!

Hey Grant, consider a 24" version as well, that's the perfect kid size
(here's my take on the best option out there:
http://cyclotourist.blogspot.com/2010/05/found-perfect-kid-bike.html).  You
can get kids all different sizes on that, and the 24" tires roll so
much better than 20" tires do.
