Is this the Best Boys Bike In The World?
What makes the best kids bike even better?
A custom paint job and a few techincal upgrades, and of course having a very cool dad who works in the best bike workshop! Adrian from Belrose Bicycles began work on the E-350 late last year and gave it to his son Ryder for Christmas.Once complete he estimated its price tag to be around $3000, making it possibly the most expensive kids bike in the world!
We spoke to Adrian to get the lowdown on his kids' custom E-350 kids bike:
What type of ByK model is it? E-350 Who is it for? My son Ryder who is 4 years old. It was a Christmas present. How many hours did it take to do the custom job?About 6 hours in spray painting and detailing, and about another 6 hours in custom building.
What are some of the major changes you have made? The wheels are profile racing bmx hubs (trail elite model). There are titanium sprockets and bottom bracket and aluminium race cranks, just to name a few.

"the ByK bikes are by far the best, with the geometry and quality of the components, they just fit the kids so well and the weight of the bikes makes them so easy for the kids to ride.
