This p***es me off, given that I just paid the same for a 20" kids bike for the boy's birthday and kids road bikes can't be had for under $400.
$249 road bike

Hmmm - it would probably break like Kristina Keneally's bike did last week.

Best looking BSO I've seen
So is it flat bar or drop bar?

Where do you get decent kid's road bikes? I'm after a new bike for my soon to be 9 y/o. Something that doesn't way a ton would be nice.

The best price I've seen on a kids road bike is this fella: http://www.getprice.com.au/Kids-Road-Bi ... 325032.htm
Cell and others have a kids road bike at $599
My lad's turning 9.

Nice. Bit of pressure to go the mountain bike option, but these would be much lighter I guess.The best price I've seen on a kids road bike is this fella: http://www.getprice.com.au/Kids-Road-Bi ... 325032.htm

Yep - kids think MTBs are cool and road bikes are for dads whose lycra doesn't fit very well
There are some alloy framed MTBs out there - Ashfield did me a Holstar at $249. It's still about 14kgs, but at least that is lighter than supermarket/Kmart bikes. And with better components. And assembled.

So true! Dads in lycra definitely kill the coolness of road bikes.
Thanks for the tips; I'll check out the lighter mountain bikes as well. I have never and will never buy a bike from kmart/big w.

True, but mine also realises that the only way to keep up with dad is to get a narrow tyres, low weight road bike. MTB and other heavy tanks just don't cut it.Yep - kids think MTBs are cool and road bikes are for dads whose lycra doesn't fit very well
