extremely cool bike! and I love that color. I think the rack looks great too. larger tires would give a plush ride but at what cost to easy rolling? what does your daughter want? I'm building an old univega for my 13yo and In order to help her get exited and involved I let her pick out the color and even a name for the bike. I hope topost up a thread as it get s closer to being finished.
