I'm tearing my hair out trying to find a decent light-weight bike for my son's 11th birthday. He's unlikely to take it off road, so a bulky hefty mountain bike with 300 gears and silly suspension isn't what we're after. I ride a Bianchi road bike, and would love to be able to take him for reasonably long rides as he grows into teenage. Apart from the Dawes Espoir 3000 or something from Isla Bikes costing around £500, there appears to be nothing on the market. Occasionally something comes up on Ebay, but we're in southern Scotland (60 miles from both Edinburgh and Newcastle) and they're always too far away. Any help, ideas or offers of a long-forgotten bike in the attic welcomed!
Many thanks,
