Looking for some advice for a bike for an 8 year old who loves long rides mainly on road and the occasional paths. For the last 2 years he has used an Orbea Dirt with 20" wheels, but he is getting to big for it now. He is keen to eventually do road racing, but it seems pointless to get a proper road bike just yet. What would be a decent (not super expensive) 24" bike for lots of miles mainly on road, but not exclusively. The other thing is that he is short for his age, so ideally something with a shorter reach.
Any advice/experience would be really appreciated. Thanks
