Not that it really matters, but although I wouldn't build mine exactly like that, I love how it looks for a woman's bike. I know if I saw a chick riding this thing, it would add a point for sure.

Just like it says in the first post. She's like 5'3" 110-120 I think, so no 80 GI here lol.

Originally I wanted to build her a Mixte, because standover just isn't an issue. It was a PITA finding a small enough frame with a perfectly horizontal tt while running 700c. Unfotunately she hated the style. She likes shiet like arrospokks and celeste, so I had to kill ideas like that. Wish I could've built it for $80 too! Went brand new on everything except the frame, stem, and soon-to-be-replaced bb and pedals.
