13y old son has saved hard and has around £500 to spend, maybe a bit more. He is 5 foot 1, long limbed and lean, but strong and fit.
Currently has this youth Boardman Hardtail http://www.youthcyclesport.co.uk/kit/reviews/review-boardman-sporte-mtb/
but says front suspension isn't great and is keen to upgrade. He wants a light FS bike, mainly riding trails around Bath area, not done bike parks etc yet but I guess may progress to that in due course. So mainly trails, some rocky stuff.
I'm not up to speed on MB stuff..I've got a Specialized Camber which I use on local trails and that's my limit. We've both done some reading but confusing overall. He has been looking at used Boardman FS..Team comes in his price range. Maybe an older Pro.
Any advice on (used) bikes which might fit the bill. In particular with suspension which would suit a light rider?
Add another 0 to that if he wants a light FS bike.
S/h Zesty.
