Figured this might be of interest to someone here.
150mm Fox 32 for a non-boost 26" wheel. Makes a great kids bike fork.

Long shot, but anyone on the front range have a cheap beater 24" bike (townie/commuter/cruiser). We have a nice 24" FS (thanks slcdawg!) but it's too nice to bike to school or downtown and lock up. So looking to start my kiddo on her first quiver of bikes, with something functional but cheap, to use to cruise around town.

My $0.02 is to look for either an old beat size small 26" wheel 'vintage' mountain bike or maybe more realistically get a beach cruiser, even a POS Huffy. Bought my daughter a 20" wheeled beach cruiser to leave at grandma's house a few years ago and she loves riding it for similar purpose. Better than me bringing down her good MTB. No good gearing on the beach cruiser though so fit for flat area only.

We're getting into the binge/purge cycle of a growing kid and looking to get rid of our ~12-24 months cycling starter pack stuff. I think it's a younger age group then most are looking for on this thread but thought I would throw it out there. All located Eastside/Issaquah outside of Seattle, not interested in shipping. PM if interested, listed elsewhere but happy to hook someone up with a package. Flexible on pricing just making sure it gets used.
We have:
1. Strider Rocking Base (bought new, used 1 year, all parts)
2. Chillafish Charlie 10" balance bike (as small as they get, I think, was good for our kid to play with at ~2.5', 18-months)
3. Raleigh somethingorother 12" balance bike with air/rubber wheels (nice for rainy outside, nicer than Strider w/ the wheels but heavier than premium 12" balance bikes)
4. Giro Scamp XS helmet, pink (responsibly used, no hard crashes, use at your own discretion)dayglo aerobic enthusiast

My daughters STP 24+ is nice, but have made some upgrades along the way. Biggest is hydro discs, as the 24+ stock brakes aren't great. I would have gotten the squishy fork version but she liked the color, that fork is a boat anchor and my kid is light. I have a manitou XC fork en-route as an upgrade as she's starting to ride some decently technical trails and her 8-11 y/o riding crew are also riding suspension forks now. At this point all of these bikes are leagues ahead of what were riding at that age. 2 of her riding peers are on the Early rider Hellion 24, which are pretty sweet, but also 3x the price and I'm still ahead on 2 good 24+ bikes + upgrades.
