I overhauled her Volpe about three months ago and she and her daughter had their first mother/daughter ride. My grand daughter is as competitive has her mom and put her trike into a death wobble, skinning her knee.
Enjoy these times.

That is so cool. I hope my daughter will love riding as much as yours in 15 years. I will cherish the times I have now. I have a set of drop bars with nice Dia Compe levers I can throw on the bike if she ever gets over her "drop bars are not cool" faze. I will build whatever makes her happy. I will take her to pick out a new saddle and will be on the lookout for a set of wheels in better condition. Father daughter fun.
