Hmmm, hadn't considered leaving the crank and chain on. Do you tie it or something so it doesn't spin and get in the way, or is that not much of a concern? Most of the ones I've seen only have a partial chain case, and I'm not sure I'd want the girl messing with a chain, but I suppose I could just cut that and put it back with a new quick link when the time comes. I guess I hadn't considered them all being old school one piece cranksets.
