Thanks for the responses. I am picking up a 15" Specialized Expedition in what looks to be excellent condition. My grandaughter is 10 and in the 95 percentile for height, she is maxed out and then some on her 20" pre-caliber. I saw no point in buying a 24" since she is already well into that. I am looking at 26x1.9" replacements the current tires are aged. She rides on multi surfaces - grass, asphalt, and gravel. So this hybrid should be perfect with some of those "gravel" type of tires with the faster inner tread pattern and the knobs towards the outer. I made some notes to check out the suggestions above.

BTW: it was hard for me not to go for the lovely Fuji Road Bike in Pink and White (in a small size too). Super sexy bike. As a roadie that bike looked fast just sitting there on MarketPlace. But I told myself she will outgrow the hybrid in a couple of years and then ... pretty road bike. However, I do find some of these "older" hybrids to be very classy ... like that Giant and GF posted above. They just look almost timeless.
