John Deere - 20" Boys Bicycle Review

John Deere - 20' Boys BicycleI have nothing but praise for this product.It is well constructed and has several safety features not found on more recognized brands. The manufacture (Kent) provides great customer sevice.

However, before you buy check around for a better price.I was in a hurry and did not research other sources. Yes, I did receive free shipping, but even taking that into consideration, I paid too much. After the fact I sadly found that even the local John Deere distributor, who is normally more expensive, to be $28 less money than Amazon.

Diamondback Octane Jr Boy's Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Review

Diamondback Octane Jr Boy's Mountain BikeI was pleasantly surprised at the quality, finish and packaging of this product.It showed up UPS (free shipping) after 5 business days in perfect condition despite some damage to the box.The Shimano derailers work perfectly & adjustments for the derailers & brakes are also well designed.The derailer guard is a very nice addition for a Jr. bike that I wouldn't have thought of.Front shocks are pretty firm, which is great.Some of the big-box store bikes have suspension, but they bottom out easily.The diamond front suspension is perfect by comparison. It's more expensive for sure than the $100 bikes you see on Amazon, but it is definitely worth it.My son is average height at age 8.5 & he could have been on this bike a year ago.I'm sure he will get a good 3-4 years out of this frame size.
