Hi. My son is 9 years old and small (132cms). He has always had Islabikes but for the past year has ignored his Islabike Beinn 24 as he can't see past his BMX. He loves going to the pump tracks with his BMX, however he is now asking for a Mountain Bike, mainly as he likes to do jumps and in particular says he would like a 'jump bike' (whatever that is?). This request is also driven by his friends. I noticed a couple of his friends have an Islabike Creig 26 which he can ride but it does look too big for him. However, those bikes are too expensive for us and there are not many available secondhand.
Can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative to the Creig 26, or some other good bikes that are easier to come by second hand. Also, it has to be 'cool' by a 9 year olds standards if anyone knows what this would be! I have no idea of any technical terms of cycling/bikes. I have simply followed the Islabike sizing and bought these secondhand as he grew older so it was simple. Thanks
