HI - looking to purchase a mountain bike for my 11 yr old son.
I know it's not just a simple as buying a 'mountain bike any more, but being a road cyclist I don't know much about them.
Budget is around £250 with a little flex. He's growing quickly, so don't want to spend too much more as he'll grow out of it pretty quick.
He'll be riding to school during the week, with a little trail stuff with his mates a weekends.
I'm thinking a hard tail, adult XS or small, and preferably something better than Halford heavy gas tubing....
Any recommendations?
Many thanks
