Hi,
Sorry - 3 questions! I've just sold my son's Islabike Beinn 26 Large and he needs a new bike.
1. He is 13, 5 ft 7 and growing! He needs a bike for the school run and some mild off road - towpath/forest tracks etc. I have my eye on a medium sized Pinnacle Lithium 4 (2016). Does anyone own a medium sized Lithium who can comment on sizing - I'm not sure if he will outgrow it too quickly.
2. I spotted this on ebay " Planet X Fat Baz Hybrid Bike" does anyone have any experience of them - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Planet-X-Fat-Baz-Hybrid-Bike/303862431222
3. There are a couple of Whyte bikes on Ebay which look interesting (albeit over budget). Would these be suitable for the mild off roading ?

Thanks a lot for any help as I am crap as making decisions!!
