Yup. Thanks. As noted, setting it up for Jane will make it easier to fine-tune it for Molly. She was riding it in the original setup prepared by the original owner's bike shop. It was truly whacky. . . they had tried to make a 50 cm frame fit an average sized man. Hence, the seat way back, after-market (and expensive!) bars, etc. A 50 cm frame will be fine for her, but only after getting it back into sane proportions.
