Hi, Is it more correct to say a 16" boy's bike or a boy's 16" bike? It depends on how tall the boy is. Better say the latter.

I disagree with Clive, as I think "a 16 inch boy's bike" sounds more natural than "a boy's 16 inch bike". I don't think it's confusing because, honestly, how many boys are there in the world who are 16 inches tall?

i agree with ScratchThat. A bike made for a 16" boy would be more accurately known as a "16 inch-boy bike" wouldnt it?
