2018 Trailcraft Pineridge 24

Bike was purchased by me for my son. I specifically spec’d the bike to maximize the fun and reduce the frustration for a child. The bike comes with 1x10 drivetrain with a 28t front chain ring and a max 42t rear cassette. It has hydraulic disc brakes and a TC 30 fork specifically designed by Trailcraft for these bikes.

If you are unfamiliar with Trailcraft, in my estimation, they are the gold standard for kid’s bikes. They are. Family run business out of Fort Collins, Colorado and the specialize in making lightweight race quality bikes for kids.

If you are like me and you want your child to enjoy riding as much as you do, it starts with quality equipment. My son went from being sorta unsure about mountain biking to enjoying climbing in a matter of months. He has now moved onto a Trailcraft Timber 26. And we are riding a couple times a week on intermediate trails. As sad as I am to see this bike go, I am excited to see someone else bring the stoke to their kid.
