childs drop handle bike

[Antisocial]

Hi

I am tentatively looking for a drop handle bike or hybrid (not a mountain bike) for a 12 year old girl to use for triathlon, nothing very expensive or super special required.

They're not cheap, but have a look at Isla bikes. One thing to bear in mind with them is that whilst they are quite expensive there's a good second hand market for them so you won't lose a huge amount selling it on.

There's also some smaller drop bar bikes in Decathlon.
