Indi Integer kids bike

Any thoughts on this bike from Halfords?

It is down to £100 from £250. The reviews are good. Anyone have any experience with them?

No experience with them but with a steel frame and suspension forks I imagine it's quite heavy. Be sure your child is big/strong enough to lift it up themselves.

I had a look at one. And walked away quickly. They're heavy with very cheap components. There's a reason why it's so cheap - and it's been £100 before.

Go for something better - a secondhand Islabike / Frog / Specialized or similar will hold their value and be much, much better.

Don't be fooled by halfords 'mark it up to mark it down' trick. Buy a good used one from a mainstream maker, there are plenty about.

Thanks guys, that’s helpful. I will keep digging through ebay.

Yeah, I have pretty good experience with them, quite heavy so you don't feel so free, but its a great starter bike. They do the job. Although you can get a better second hand one for the same price.

Although, if you go mtbing, it only has 50mm of travel! Be very careful of that, I've bottomed out on the tiniest jumps!
