Actually, although I might have worded it a bit differently, I agree
with what he was saying. By the way, have you asked what she would
rather ride? If she says she wants a lightweight racing bike with
Campy hubs and Ergo levers, etc - then maybe you are on track. If she
says she wants something fun to ride - and in pink, then
congratulations, she is a normal kid :)
