Gotcha
it would take a big push from me to get her away from huffy. unless they are total garbage I'm probably not going to try
Now I'm thinking the Huffy would be perfect for
her.
Probably nothing there that could go wrong that you couldn' tackle, and it doesn't sound like she'll be doing weekly 50 mile bike trail runs to wear it out.
When they are back in stock, have her test ride it. It'll start squeakin' and creakin' after a while though, so warn her.
Has she any interest in the "Townie" type of bikes? Some of these are HUGE on the "adorable" scale. Comfy but with 700c instead of 26 inch wheels.
Aluminum frame, beter quality, etc....
