|   Good 16" bikes. Where? | dirtydown
Aug 18, 2003 10:27 AM | | I have been trying to find a couple good 16" bikes for my kids. Everything I see is incredibly heavy and has big heavy knobby tires. These d*mn kids bikes are as heavy as my Kona Dawg Deluxe. |

One came with Maxxis hookworms and the other a Haro Chevron pattern neither are knobby. Redline's Pitboss is probably a little lighter but not as stout and may come with the knobbies if I recall. Hoffman makes a 16" that is similar to the Haro but heavier. The Haro and the Hoffman are real for sure little rippers and at $190 its hard to go wrong. Interestingly I talked to Steve from Brew Bikes at the Woodbridge National he said he could make a 16" so if there is cash to burn custom is always a possibility. For what its worth the majority of kids at the Rye Airfield skatepark in NH were riding Haro's. |

Aug 22, 2003 2:54 PM | | Thanks. I am ordering a couple Redline Pit Boss' next week from a local shop. They do come with knobbies. However, Kenda makes a 16" road tire for recumbent bikes that should make there road experience more enjoyable.
My conscience just can't stand seeing them struggling with those cheap department store bikes when I have a stable of bikes to choose from for specific conditions. |
