I have been trying to get hold of one of the above bikes for my son (aged 7) for Christmas since October (he is on the cusp re: size), it now appears that Islabike won't have anything in stock until Jan/Feb - if you, or anybody you know are looking to upgrade their Islabike and are selling their old one please please could you let me know - thank you so much (If anyone has a child who uses another brand of road bike would be interested to hear about those too) thanks.

    Yes, obviously very popular at the moment, i was looking for the same thing but will probably wait until the spring now.

    It might be worth looking at Moda bikes. british made and available through rutland cycles, there is a 24 and a 26 inch version and the price looks similar to Islabikes. Moda usually do very well in bike tests on their adult bikes but i dont know of anyone who has the kids version. Anyone seen one?

    I have been looking at those too, also at Dawes who are the same price as Islabikes, think if I had to choose would go with the Moda- even though I don't know much about bikes!. I have also been trawling through photos of Cyclocross races to see what else the youngsters were riding (obviously too much time on my hands!) and I spotted a few Modas - would be interested to hear from anyone who has one too - I would love him to have his bike for Christmas not sure he would appreciate me telling him that Santa has run out of nuts and botls!

    i have seen the Moda kids bike in Mercian Cycles where they had one on display a couple of months ago. It looked pretty good but was too small for me.

    If its of interest there is a Trek kids bike for sale in the classifieds section of CW this week.

    My 14yr old lad Alfie has a blue Isla Luath 26 that is too small.
    It's in good-ish condition but needs a service ie. brakes... got road and cross tyres.
    Have a look at it and make him an offer- he'll go for it.

    Give him a call after 5pm weekdays on 01462 743280

    Robbie - thank you so so much I will call him tomorrow and arrange to come and see it!
    Thank you!

    Cool. If he doesn't answer that's because he's playing Black Ops or Fifa 13...
    I'll be in 8pm ish.
