Advantages: Light weight Disadvantages: Not the top of the line product
...The Raliegh R400 racing bike is a very nice bike for training and or beginners racing. I bought my bike about 1.5-2 years ago and have had nothing but enjoyment while riding it.
The bike itself is a very nice bike. It comes in 4 sizes (small, medium, large and x-large). It is color coded mainly in blue and white with some silver lettering. It comes stock with Shimano Sora front and rear derailers, Shimano flight deck shift levers (this style shift lever is where the shifters are located on the brake handles instead of the old style where they are on the down tube). The front crank consist of a triple ring with 30/42/52 teeth respectively and a rear cog set sized 12/25 (number of teeth on the smallest and largest gear). The frame is made of heat treated aluminum with a replacable rear derailer hanger. The replaceable rear...

Advantages: Small cheap, good quality Disadvantages: no brakes
...for inside leg 12-16inches
The bike was self-assembly, with most of the difficult parts already assembled for you.
The only parts that the new owner has to put together are the handlebars, saddle, stabilisers, pedals, squeaky horn, and clip on basket.
The instructions were more than comprehensive, and Universal supply a cycle spanner in with the bike to avoid any disappointment.
It took only 10 minutes to construct the bike, even with an inquisitive 2 year old hanging on your every move, and repeatedly asking “is it ready yet?”

The bicycle itself is black and yellow and stands around 13 inches high from the saddle to the floor in its lowest position.
The seat is adjustable by about another 4 inches...

Advantages: Provides hours of pleasure Disadvantages: None
...This opinion is based on the Argos Trike/Tipper.
From the name you would imagine that this is some kind of bicycle, with a tipper truck on the back. This is not so.
I bought this toy for my grand-child, the main reason being that he didn't have a bike, but also because it was a relatively cheap bike.
The bicycle it's self is red and green, it has pedals on the front, and even a basket to put things in. Their is no tipper, really it's a little box on the back.
However my grand-child was really happy about his new bike, and every time I visited he would be riding around on it, he especially liked the basket and the box on the back, and puts items in it to transport around.
This bike is aimed at 2 to 4 years olds, and makes a inexpensive toy that provides hours of fun, also I would consider the bike to be unisex, so if you had a boy...
