Not her first bike ever but her first "real bike".

I ride and also take the kids with me and now we can ride as a family. She expressed interest in riding so I went about building the nicest bike I could on my budget. For the same price as the lowest BikesDirect option I was able to build this for her.

Now that she has a bike she can be proud of I hope she catches the "riding bug", maybe even do Saturday Club rides...

Thanks for all the information on the forum I explored to find a good fit and function.
