I just ordered a 16" Torker CX for my 10 year old son. He’s wanting to learn for a while but my 24 is too big,. His birthday is wed. so he should be pretty excited to get it. I looked at a Raliegh and a Sun,but decided on the Torker since I like mine so much. Was this a good decision?

hate to say this but a 16" is to small for a 10 yr. old cancel and order a 20"
Re: Torker CX
Mike,
Lots of people here have kids who ride, but I only have a kid who at one point almost rode. That said, she was quite comfortable practicing on a 20" and I think your son will probably want to upgrade fairly soon. And if you can, as Jagur suggests change the order to a 20", you’d save yourself a bit of money.
By the way I posted the article about you from the Times-Picayune. There’s a little question about it. Take a look and comment if you feel like it. (You’ll need to scroll up a bit to see it, I think).

Yeah torker is pretty good,probally better than Raleigh,the cx is about as good as sun.He could ride the 16",might outgrow it,but it will probally do.
(dont take me TOO seriously i think i know everything)

Well’ I called and it’s already been shipped. He should be atleast able to ride it shouldn’t he? I also have an 8 year old who says he wants to learn,so I guess if worse comes to worse I can give him the 16 and get a 20 for my older boy.

I learned on a 16 inch and i was 12 when i was 13 so you should be fine
Huh? Is Yogi in the house?
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Overall good news for Mike and his kid, though.
