What reason said, and drew, is what the issue was with my ex wife's canti setup was. Put more of the brake pad post on the inner side of the levers. The arms should come close, but not past parallel to the rim sidewall with the brakes contacting the rim, as it stands they're going way past that, and losing all braking ability.
With low profile cantis spread em wide, keep the yolk low, and you're at a good starting point.
It's looking like that front reflector will be in the way of the straddle cable, might want to snag a handle-bar mounted one instead.
Those safety levers should come no-where near the bars when the brakes are applied, that's bad news. Rotate the handlebars or bring up the levers, but don't leave it like that. If she has small hands, get WSD levers, with cross (interrupt) levers for the tops. Should run around $50 bucks.
