Trek MT 200

• Add to quote

Looking at a Trek MT 200 for my 11 year olds first MTB. Looking for something a little bigger (24") and nicer than my 9 year olds Schwinn Ranger. But want to keep it under, about $350 and a 7 speed....he is very new to bike riding and not even sure he is going to pick it up like his younger brother. Any information would be appreciated  

High tensile steel frame = HEAVY for kids. Specialized Hotrock 24" 7 speed has a MSRP of $370 but that is high retail. Most bike shops will sell it for $330 Specialized Bicycle Components Just out of curiosity...are you sure your 11 year old will not fit a small frame 26" wheel bike?

Hey.. my first post here (lurked for a while and I ride a Treck 6000 hardtail) I'm looking for something to replace my almost 10yo son's hand-me-down from the neighbor kid Schwinn 20" BMX bike. We looked at some cheaper bikes at the be retailers, and the Schwinn Ranger 24 was the only one that stood out to us, but at 40lbs, it seemed heavy and I didn't read glowing reviews of it. The Trek MT 200 was also heavy and we crossed that off our list (for that price, we can get a lighter bike from another brand) Right now, for the 24" $300-350 range, we're looking at a Raleigh Scout XC, Novara Tractor and a Specialized Hotrock.  

Yeah, my 11 year old is tiny.....only about 1" taller than his 9 year old brother. He could almost get away with a 20" but I went ahead and purchased a 24". We started out heading toward the Trek....ended up with a Giant Boulder Jr., less money ($289 OTD) and I think even a little less weight than the Trek....the main thing was the fit...it will fit him good now, and allow him to grow. I am thinking (and hoping) that he will get a good couple years out of it. Thanks for the insight folks, my oldest is stoked, and I really think he has a solid bike to learn on, without spending an arm and a leg. Win-Win  

REI didn't have the Scout XC built, so they are building us one. Said they shoud have it ready tomorrow. My son liked the fender on the Novara Tractor, but I thought the Scout XC was a better bike and better value (on paper), so if we go with it, I'll get him a rear fender to make him happy.  

AWESOME!!!! Two different bikes and I think we both accomplished the same result. Good bikes, and happy kids  

So the hunt goes on for us. REI just called and someone screwed up and they actually didn't have the bike we wanted.  

Wow.. I was way over thinking, way over analyzing and whatever... In the end, we're being limited to whatever we can find... our choices wound up being the Novara Tractor ($300), Haro Flightline 24 ($on sale for $300), Trek MT 220 ($390), Scott Voltage JR 24 ($360), Diamondback Octane 24 ($270) or Kona Hula ($440). Out of these, we made our decision. We'll be going shortly to pick up a Haro Flightline 24 in Black and Green.  

If anyone is looking for one of these, and you have a Sun and Ski Sports store near you, they are on sale until Sunday. yes, I'm padding my posts so I can put up pictures later. (only 2 more to go!)  

Keep an eye on Craigs List. There are a lot of quality specialized hotrock and trek mt aluminum framed kids bikes that come up for sale, usually about 1/2 of MSRP.  

You are 100% right. I have two appointments Sunday to take looks at two bikes for the kids. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk  

New to the single track scene myself, once I caught the bug I was dying to get my 10yo involved. My neighbor practically gave us a minty Trek MT200 that is a cheap and practical way to get my son in the woods. Can it be lighter? Sure. Can the components be "better"? Sure...but who cares? He won't be on it for long before he's on a 26er at which time I can sell it for what I bought it for and snag something for him that is more serious. I'm avoiding the trap of spending $300+ for something a kid won't notice the difference on.

Huh. I was looking at these thinking no shock = lighter (and really those shocks seem virtually useless). Didn't realize it was steel. The MT60 is aluminum.  

There is a guy on here that built a really light 20" MTB for his kid using a Trek MT60 as a starting point. I'm doing the same. I bought a used Trek MT60 for $70 and stripped most of the stuff off of it. The frame is pretty light, but the cranks, fork, tires, saddle and seatpost are REALLY heavy. The crank is easy to replace, but it's hard to find a fork (rigid or suspension) that is the right size. The saddle and seatpost are also really heavy but were easily replaced with lighter stuff from my used parts bin. I'm changing the drivetrain and so that means rebuilding the wheels- the challenge there is finding the right size 20" wheel spokes. When the wheels are done I may also change out the tires.  

DIY shorten an old manitou fork into a 20" suspension fork that is way lighter than any new suspension fork you can buy new; http://forums.mtbr.com/families-riding-kids/suspension-fork-shortening-932945.html For help building lightweight 20" wheels, see thread http://forums.mtbr.com/families-rid...-wheel-build-40lb-rider-need-help-891768.html 330 gram 20" Schwalbe Moe Joe tires are a worthy upgrade that can shed a bunch of rotational weight compared to OEM tires.  

Cool! Update this thread as you go. Pics are appreciated.  

I'm going to give your suggestion a try. I'm looking for a Manitou three or four. It is funny seeing people selling these things on ebay for over $100 dollars. What are they thinking? I raced on those in the 90's and even then they were terrible. Why in the world would you want one as an adult these days when there are so many better forks that were made only a few years later. Do did you modify a Manitou three?

I cant figure out how to post pictures in these threads. Any one offer any help? Edit - Never mind I got it....

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.
