Wanting to search for a kids bike as my nephew is outgrowing his V Early Rider 16" and his birthday is next month.

Can't seem to get any search results to come up when entering "kid".

What am I doing wrong?

@generalist have any pics? I'm handy, my brother-in-law less so. He's OK with a spray cam, mind.

@Tracey cheers, will do.

as above, search doesn't work. the top ad is a cervelo, but search for cervelo brings up nothing. shop elsewhere 🙁

FM.... That pink bike site is crazy. Can you search by country? 4 pages in and only US and Canada...

It's ruddy useless and I honestly can't see why they persist with it - it can be barely generating any revenue compared to the page hits they used to get.

It used to be great and my first port of call for selling stuff. It's not even an option I'd consider now.

The link on Pinkbike I sent comes up for Europe, you can then drill down in the search engine to Country and then to brand and model if needed. You may need to be registered to get that far.

The search function on Facebook works well & there will be a local to you facebook group selling bikes. Use that.

they'll probalby be there on a phone somewhere - is there a three-bar "burger" menu or am ellipsis (three dots) "more" menu perhaps?

checking on my phone there's a grey bar that says "europe [Change]" towards the top of the page - but on the deskopt you can even do location search with a radius "near me" so much more powerful
