Thank you
The Specialized looks decent, certainly a worthy starter bike for an 11 year old. When my son was about 9 or 10 he was about your daughter's size. I bought a used Trek 800 from a LBS without suspension that worked just fine for 3 years until he outgrew it. I don't especially like suspension forks for casual riding, but I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker either.
