I look forward to pictures.
One nice thing about modern bikes is the stems with removable faceplates. It allows for faster handlebar changes. Handlebar changes are the most dramatic things you can do on bikes to determine if you like a bike. If daughter and wife don't like these, consider getting a threaded to threadless converter and put a modern stem on. Then you can collect stems of many sizes and angles and many handlebars. I've collected handlebars and stems over the years. It's time to get rid of a bunch. I'll start with handlebars, but I'm not ready to give up stems, because I have more experiments to do with them.
That reminds me, I owe you a North Road handlebar. I still have it here.
