reminded me:

I spent a lot of time building up a really lovely antique
(1960s?) Italian made mixte for a young lad. He loves it and
loves riding. It's a super-cool bike.

But the boy is growing. I've got a couple years to figure it
out, but I'm wondering about what's [going to be?] available
that's not a mountain bike, is reasonably light weight, has
multiple speeds, is fairly kid-proof, and has wheels maybe
24" diameter.

Any recommendations?


Current product is dominated by 24x1.95 but a tire change to
a smooth tread 24x1.5 is usually free at most LBS.

If you want to talk about an Italian styled youth fixie,
flipflop hub, 24x1 -540, write me.
