    If you're in the market for Ultegra and carbon forks for your 11-year old, look no further than Islabikes new range...

    If you think they are unreasonably pricey, you're probably not their target market...

    Well. Our kids' fleet for the Bike Track People event in Le Mans was wholly Islabike. They are well made and nothing went wrong on them, unlike the adult bikes (which were subject to repeated drunken crashes under hefty men).

    But a titanium bottom bearing axle for a kids' bike? The Stan's Crest rims are paired to a custom Islabikes cyclocross tyre that's fully UCI compliant and can be run tubeless in races. Oh my actual god. They're still at primary school.

    Will the SNP's hated named person step in and protect any child whose parent is planning to get them one of these things?
