i think its alright, weird design look to it but its alright

but one problem, the deraileur, its way too close to the ground it should at least be a medium cage

not really, most kids that could fit on that bike wouldn't be able to throw around like an 8 pound fork. not to mention every time you crash you'd need a new derailleur.

That derailer is such a bad choice. Long cage + small tires = destroyed mech. Short cage would be siiiick.

....I want a lowered shivver.

If you read the article it said that it was swapped out for a short cage.

Am I the only one wondering why they put old ass Shivvers on that??? And why would a bike like that even need a double crown??? I mean any kid small enough to rip that sized bike isn't going to be destrying single crown forks. Idk, I think it's a little silly. the frames pretty dick imo too. Dont get me wrong tho, KOOL idea... just a little on the cheesey side

Haha holy guys, did anyone read the article...at least 4 comments on the derailure (they said specifically its already been switched to a short cage) and a couple comments on the fork...if you read it says its a brandnew custom shiver for the kid, hot off the factory floor for a 20" kids wheel.

Pointless, another reason for rich parents to buy snooty kids something they dont need. I dont wanna sound mean, just being honest, I mean a kid that size probably doesnt even need something that advanced, as they never go off anything THAT big. I think this would be kind of dumb in production, so I am glad its just a prototype/custom one-off thing.

Still looks cool....but pointless.
