I bought my son a Giant MTX off of ebay a couple years ago when he turned 7. It's a nice LBS bike and looks like new. The funny thing is that all of his friends have the flashy Schwinn's and Next super bling full suspension crappo jobbos, and my son is convinced that those bikes are better regardless of what i say.
I'll give him credit for trying to believe me, but i just think the bling is too much to handle. In retrospect I am glad i bought a USED LBS bike instead of new. Mine cost $70. Also I will be remembering when it is time for his next upgrade. Kids are kids, and sometimes it just makes more sense for them to have junk.

I remember someone looking down their nose from the height of their xmart Mongoose, and referring to Siu's Fuji as a no name bike. Sheese, such ignorance is to be cherished

the crank/bb nut came loose on both. one came all the way off until the bearings/cup fell out. i got tired of paying $30-$60 a pop for nothing but shi-ite. i bought him the trek new. probably wasn't the best deal but i like the shop and i was sick of looking at crap bikes everywhere else.

when he outgrows it, try back at the same shop - they just might buy it back from you.
My LBS gave us back 2/3 of the cost (different shop, mind you that doesn't even sell Trek) when we traded up after 1.5 years - kid decided he needed gears and a single speed wasn't cutting it.
