Sorry tolfan, the bigbossman beat you to it. I guess there's a reason he's the reigning bike flipping champion of Northern CA...or is it the entire West Coast?

For the record, this one is going to be built for my 11 year old daughter. Currently, she has a newish Giant FCR road bike with flat bars. Now that she is actually completing metric centuries, I've been looking at buying a new, "real" road bike for her. The flat bars just ain't cutting it for longer distances, and the Giant is not worth upgrading as I'd need to change the whole shifter brake controls anyway. And then there's the V-brake/STI lever thing to deal with afterwards. Easier to just do a frame-up build on a comfy steel frame.
I'm probably going to build this with 8 speed Sora, assuming the trial fit goes as planned.

Anyway, this just popped up on my local CL. 41 cm Miyata roadbike! Looks like it may have 24" wheels? Tolfan? East Hill?
