I am looking for a reasonably priced 24" wheel mountain bike for my 10 year old grandson. He currently rides at Bartram on a 20" but he is getting too big for it, looking for something he can take to FATS for a couple of years until he is ready to move up to a 26er.

How tall is he? The reason I am asking is that my 10 year old daughter (4'5") got for Christmas a 13" frame 26" Specialized HardRock. This will give her more years on it then a 24" bike. Just a thought. We did get it on Craigslist and went to Columbia to get it.

Thanks Brian. This for my grandson, I do not know his height but he has tried his older brothers bike (a 15" frame Haro) and it is too big. I don't want to spend too much for a bike he will outgrow quickly so that is why I am looking for used.
OK folks, As Brian suggested, please let me know if you have a good 13" frame 26" wheel bike for sale that would hold up to FATS.
Thanks!!!!

I have a 24" wheeled Scott Spark F/S. I paid $350 for it on ebay.
I am prolly 2 years from having someone large enuff to ride it.
It is a real mtb with 24" wheels.
Why just FATS? Many other local trails. Some you can even learn to be a good rider on. FATS will not let you gain any skill and will make you forget the skills you once had. YMMV. But my first trip to Pisgah after riding FATS all the time was scary. I couldn't believe what I had forgotten about riding techy trails.
Let me know if you want to come see the Scott. I am in N Augusta.

Thanks for the reply. The Scott Spark would be a great bike for him and the price is good for the bike but I need to find one more reasonable. Again thank you for the reply!!

If you're still looking, I am selling my sons Performance brand 24" bike. RST front shock, V-brakes, Shimano grip shifters in excellent condition. FATS, Tsali, and light Pisgah tested by him. He's outgrown it and is now on a 26. $125 or make me an offer. We're in Richmond Hill (near Savannah), but can meet elsewhere if you'd like to get it.
