LA ENDURO

COCO-0191

Exceptionally cool kid's bike. Cantilevers on 22" knobbies. We put on new tires, tubes, saddle, some cables, tuned it up. Very cool. No matter how cool kid's bikes are, they just don't sell. This is half the size of an adult's bike but is the same quality and much rarer but we will have to wait a long time to get $150 for it. Unless you are a very discerning parent...
