Great little bike, she is a lucky girl.

Oh and the stem size must be 21.1 mm's instead of the 22.2 of a 1".
Pretty hard to find...

Re:

That's awesome. Lovely story and lovely bike. I agree completely about finding a good bike for your kids as well - when you're just starting out the last thing you need is shoddy brakes and wonky steering (I'll politely sidestep my childhood history of Raleigh Grifters here!).

Really nice to see her getting a good bike and enjoying getting out. Good stuff and really lovely build [so far]!

Great bike for your daughter! Specially the kit you've used! Saw her old Cube for sale? Pity it's to small for my daughter....

Yes correct,.. Kirsten is now 140cm,.. that Cube is also very nice, we had a lot of fun with it but it is time to move.
Lets see how she likes the Alpinestars, if she outgrows this one, it will go to the museum, we do not have one like that yet

I have a tiny Yo Betty waiting to be built up for my 6yr old daughter. Also have a nice collection of parts for it when she's ready.

Looking good, Bas. Especially the Spengles.

My little daughter ist 140cm as well and here's her tiny Troger Stelvio.

last weekend Kirsten got to use the bike for the first time offroad
I replaced some parts, installed V-Brakes Avid 1D to give her some extra stopping power
