15 Kids' Bikes & Their Riders from the Southern XC Round 1
@atourgates: Besides weight there's also the relative size of cranks. Some of these kids bikes come with no less than 165mm. That's 10mm shorter than an adults! I always got custom cranks for my kids in the 127 to 145mm range

Black Mountain Bikes Expand Range for Bigger Kids That Need Gears
What most kids bike manufacturers get wrong is the crankset. A lot of kids bikes are running no less than 165mm cranks - that's 10mm less that a 6ft rider might use. A bike this small should have something like 120mm crank. I wonder what the stock length is.
