The Agony of the 24" Children's Mountain Bike

Kid's bikes suck.  They look like garbage and are very expensive.  The best one is the little Scott.  It's got a cool little aluminium frame with round tubes, a downtube gusset and top tube routing.  I kinda dig it, stupid painted white crank and all, but the kid, being a picky little spoiled hard-to-please monster--proving once and for all that genes and environment do nothing to shape a wee tot's personality since I am the most easy going non-picky person in the galaxy--doesn't like it.  Too black, too green, too whatever, no Scott.  As much as I tried to explain that it was the best bike and the best deal, well, it ain't happening.  Such is life.  It's a neat bike, though.  Make the crank black and paint the fork to match the frame, and it would be just about perfect.  And make it pink.
