Hi. I'm sorry for yet another "I'm buying my kid a bike" post, but even after searching the forum, I still have a question.
My son is 7 years old, 50 inches tall.
Someone posted a similar topic earlier , and an 18" bike was recommended for an 8.5 year old. My son won't be using the bike to do tricks, he'll just be using it to ride around the neighborhood. That said, would a 20" bike still be too big for him? I don't want him to outgrow an 18" in a year, and there seems to be more choices in the 20" category. However, I also don't want to buy him a bike that he has to wait to grow into. He fits on my daughter's 20" Diamondback Impression, but, the toptube length is 18".
Thanks!
