I noticed this really nice bike on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110090772008&rd=1&rd=1
It won't fit my daughter, but it does look like a nice value. I did correspond with the seller and got this info. on the geometry, but obviously you should verify the info. before you bid. He has a real bike shop in CT so maybe some of you local gals could check it out. I have no connection with this auction, but started inquiring with the hope it would fit my daughter. It sounds so good I wanted to pass on what I learned.

Stock geometry. I would say the handling is pretty neutral.Not quick, not overly stable. I believe the head angle is 71* seat 75* rake 53 cm = trail 61 mm. No toe clip overlapping the fender. The paint is pretty much perfect. The pictures don't do justice.
BB height is 10.5 " with 700x 23c tires.Standover is about 29 3/4"
with rack, fenders,wb cage and pedals it's around 23lbs
