Why You Should Never Buy a 12? Bike! (with one exception) | Two Wheeling Tots
While I saw some familiar points, I was confused by the author's arguments that seemed to say that a slack seat tube angle was the most important thing.
I thought I had read here that kids are expected to prefer a more upright torso position, but the author seems to argue the opposite. She seems to be saying arguing for a more aggressive handlebar position and a slacker seat tube.
Maybe I had a hard time understanding what she was saying because I have an engineering degree and she admittedly doesn't.
But in the end, she ended up with the same conclusion as many here - the Specialized Hotrock 12 is the best and possibly the only good 12. (I wonder if she considered the TrekJet 12.)
Thoughts?
