My son is excited to ride a bike and wants to start riding off-trail. His 16" bike is too small for him and he needs something a little better and I wanted to see if anyone might be ready to upgrade their child's bike soon before I go down the abyss of Marketplace or figure out what new bike to get.
 
It's a 26" but I would say a small 26"

It's been through both boys so I am not going to ask a lot for it. It does have a new-ish fork I think. So I am thinking like 25, maybe 50 cents? Price is negotiable.

What do you have, I am pretty open at this point, want to see what options are on the board before I go down another path. Dealing with people here is always a better experience for me.

My wife has an old 26 that I can check sizing on. I suspect he is a tad small for that, but gonna try tonight and see who he fits on it and let you know.

That is wild isn't it, they even have full-on downhill bikes on 24" wheels now, but that is def too much since I still only ride a hard tail.

Same, I don't think anyone in my house is riding DH any time soon!
 
I still have my daughters old 24" "franken-bike" buried in the garage somewhere I should probably sell. Not sure how it's setup at the moment because I set it up in a few different iterations. It started life as a Giant XTC Jr. but I ended up ditching every original part other than the frame 🙂

I also have am older 26" XS Marin full sus I bought on here a couple years back, also sitting buried and unused that I should part with. I think my daughter was around 4'7" when she started riding that one. She crushed it in her first NICA season on that little bike.

If interested in either DM me and I'll take a closer look at them after work.

thank you, I am working on getting time today to pick up the Fezzari from RJ44 today, but keep the bikes coming I suspect there are a lot of others trying to get kids bikes around this size judging by how quick they go.
 
For those who DMed me regarding the bikes I mentioned above Here are some "action shots" I have on my phone from when my daughter was still using them.

I will pull them out and create a new for sale post for each of them with bike specific photos in the near-term.
