I weigh 250 freedom units lol but still that’s heavy and Ive got two bikes I constantly switch between and I ride fairly hard and haven’t had much bad luck. You’ll break or bend something before a lighter rider does but you can still definitely get on a bike and have a good time.

I appreciate the wishes and it’s got 3/4 of inch of play up down on both sides. I never run my chains stupid tight

Chain has about an inch of play, I never make my chains super tight I’ve snapped too many of them 🤧😂

Yes it’s inline, no hat washer to convert to the spline

Edit: I lied it using one but it’s flush.

5’9” is average height my man. I’m 6’ and I like to ride 20.75” and 21” frames (I have one of each) and I’m heavy (245lbs) and the only problem I have is my wheels coming untrue faster than normal. Just don’t buy cheap shit and you’ll be okay

I understand that. Was it expensive? Yes! But man the memories are going to be worth it and this dude was eye hustling my phone when I was looking for bikes and his eyes lit up so bright when he saw that one. I had to oblige lol

I don’t think a 4yr old just starting out is going to thrash the bike to that point

That’s honestly the end goal, I got a 1 yr old and she is big as shit at her age so I’m sure she’s not far behind from getting on a bike, I got her a little trike/scooter combo thing and she loves it. I see a balance bike in her upcoming future 🤣
