Hi all,

My 10 year old son has a Cube Acid 20” MTB that he’s now outgrown. I’m looking to get him a new MTB with the following spec:

Front Suspension
Disc brakes
Single front chainring

Budget is around £500. There is a Frog 26” that meets our specification but it’s £750. Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fair comment, I forgot to mention it needs to be 26” wheels.

I’ll look on PinkBike, thank you

Thanks for all the responses.

I haven’t bought one yet, I think he’d now prefer a new hardtail rather than a used full suspension bike. I’m also thinking a 24” may be a better size for him.
