[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford it and the bike will be used often, get the better bike. We’ve had good experiences with REI and used specialized. I just got a used specialized rockhopper in an adult small frame for my 12 year old for $400. Your child will have an easier time riding and doing jumps, etc. We also have multiple kids where the bike gets passed down. [b]A cheaply made Walmart bike is trashed after one child. [/b]We learned that early on. When my youngest out grows the hand me down REI she’s on now, I expect to be able to sell it for $100 or so. [/quote] I have three kids. All of them rode the same Walmart bikes. OP- unless your kids are doing some heavy duty mountain biking, save your money. The only non Walmart bike I ever bought was when my son joined the mountain biking club at school. Then I bought some hand me down mountain bike from another student.[/quote]
