Discount K-Roo Sports Wooden Balance Bike
This bike came in three parts with a bag of items to put it together with. We were able to put the bike together in under 5 minutes. The wheels are nice and thick for easy balancing. My three year old loves to ride it around and the size of the frame is perfect for her smaller size. I love that it is wooden too. It looks really cool and I think the price is totally reasonable. The seat is wooden as well but comes with a red seat cover that has a little padding. My daughter says it's comfortable. We love it and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a balance bike.My 3 yr old twins love the kroo wooden balance. They prefer if over the smart gear balance bike. The seat is lower so this bike fits small toddlers best. Assembling was very easy and the instructions were clear. Inexpensive, good quality balance bike.

Cheap Morgan Cycle Morgan Black Hawk Trike
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $179.00
Sale Price: $141.20
Today's Bonus: 21% Off

This trike is good quality but it's also super heavy. The frame is all metal and although it gives it a really cool, Harley Davidson, kind of look it's a bit too heavy for our 3 year old girl to pedal. Our neighbors 5 year old tried it and loved it so it might be better for an older kid. Customer service was amazing though and they even rushed this order for us so that we'd receive it in time for my daughters birthday.This little monster is tough, good looking and went together very easy, in no time at all. It's one hot looking trike and my son loves it... so does my daughter. Aside from causing fights now about who gets to ride it, this was a great purchase.

Best Velocity A-23, 700c, 28h Black/Silver with Machined Sidewall Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $78.00
Sale Price: $62.29
Today's Bonus: 20% Off

I purchased this rim from Amazon because i bent my previous A-23 in a crash, so I am going to rebuild the wheel. After almost two seasons of using this rim, I've been really pleased. It is light weight, good looking and versatile. I run these at about 90psi (I am 165lbs) and get a very comfortable ride but no loss of performance. This is the primary benefit of having the wider profile rim. I also like the option of being able to run these as tubeless.

Discount Hutchinson Fusion Comp Tire 700 x 23C Aramid Bead Black / Silver
PRO: 127tpi makes these tires nice and supple so they handle and ride like a dream. If you haven't ridden on a high end tire before and can get a great price on these, you should definitely try them. I paid only about $20 a tire, so it was well worth it.
CON: Though they're rather resistant to puctures they have an outstanding ability to swallow whole bits of glass that you will have to dig out with your multitool. Putting this tire on your rear wheel will result in a tire riddled with small cuts. If you ride in places prone to sharp, tire puncturing road debris--like the entirety of New York City for instance--then don't buy these tires or at least don't put it on your rear wheel.
BOTTOM LINE: I went through several of these tires, which lasted only a few months each, before giving up on them. The problem is, while a piece of glass or other sharp debris wont usually pass through all the way to the tube for a straight up puncture, eventually something will put a gash in your tire that is so big that the tube bubbles out of it and bursts.
I should note however that stiffer tubes--like Bontrager--will not bubble out as easily, so if you're going to get these tires, make sure to pair them with pricey name brand tubes, not cheapo tubes such as Pyramid.
These are the first tires I've ever had to patch the actual tires instead of just the tubes.
Fortunately, Hutchinson offers the same great performance in a slightly heavier and tougher Kevlar tire--the Fusion Comp 2 Kevlar.
