if i ever have a daughter, i'm gonna build her a bike as well. only mine will be made with conduit from home depot, and welded together with a torch and a few coat hangers. yeah, it'll be a peice of ****, but it'll build character. then when it breaks and impales her, she'll totally have a reason to hate me when she gets older, rather than just teen angst.
you gotta plan ahead don.

DW, that is a fine piece of art. First thing that came to mind when I saw the down tube was my 20" Torker frame that I had in 1980, the frame with the split top tube.Your little one is tracking with class. Well done!

wow, don do you plan to build her a successively larger frame as she grows every year?
seems a little silly to build such a nice bike / large investement for a child, but you know if i had brazing skills my [hypothetical] children would all be riding around on fillet brazed tricycles!

the pics I saw had paint... clearly I'm just wrong about when it was.
heck, at this point I'm glad I know what month this is...
