I know this project will be a large financial and time commitment, and I wouldnt do something like this if I wasnt 100% sure that she wanted it. Thank you for all the advice not only on the bike but on life itself. If you have any more input or advice, fire away.
Large financial commitment, and you are going to start this whole thing out on a $100 absolute pos Pure Fix frame? Buy once, cry once. Do it right the first time. I have learned this the hard way. Nail down the budget first off. Decide what it is that SHE wants, fixed, single, coaster brake, whatever. Then go from there. What size will she need? What type of riding will the intended purpose be with the bike?
