Does anyone have a 160cm tall child they can check this bike for size with please?

[Howmanysleepsnow]

It’s a long shot, but I’m trying to figure out if this bike will be big enough for dd! She’s 12 and 160cm tall. I can’t measure her inside leg as she’s at her dad’S til Sunday and I’m hoping to pick it up before then (for Christmas) while smyths have the £10 off every £50 offer on. Does anyone have this bike and a similar size child, or (really long shot!) is anyone going to smyths with a similar size child and could try it out for me please? I’m particularly keen on this one as it’s her favourite colour! Thanks

Oops, link would help!

26 should be fine for her size.
ideally you should measure her arm elbow to wrist and check that it's similar to the distance saddle-handlebar.

When we ordered bike for our dc from halfords they had a size guide online to help choose the right one. Try google

Google wasn’t coming up with anything beyond 70-80/90 cm inside leg, and I have no idea what her measurement is!

Go and get a pair of her jeans or leggings and get the tape measure out.

Well I'm 163cm tall and my inside leg is 80cm! DD is about 155cm and her inside leg is 75cm (she's 11 but tall for her age). We're both short bodies / longer legs though. Does that help?

Thanks! She’s shorter legs, longer body so should grow with it. I’ll get it!

@Howmanysleepsnow i work near a Smyths so i went in today and got on the bike! It's absolutely too small for me by about 10cms, but the saddle was right down - so before you buy it, get them to show you how much higher the saddle and handlebars go. If you can put them up 20cms, then it'll be fine.

10cms not 20cms.

Need an edit function!

@dropzoneone thank you!
