Be careful or there are a few women of a similar size who might just be overly interested in that bike!

It was hard for me to find a track bike that fits with 700c wheels. I'm a bit stretched with the one I have - a Bianchi. Good job in putting all that together.

yes, I agree, father has trawled the net for small well made light frames, there are few options. My aim was to build a bike for her that fits her build and carefully source componentry to match - give her the best opportunity to gather bike handling skills and to enjoy her new sport.
