^She's a big 9, so this is on the large side for her. Now that the weather has improved, we've gone on some longer rides- several miles long, but not quite where your son is, and she seems to want to do more. Already, the other neighborhood kids stand in amazement with how far she travels "Your riding where? wow" type stuff. I will shorten the stem, bars, seat, and put on some 170 cranks single ring in the front (down from what I assume are currently 175's). All spare stuff I have laying around.

In fact, her current bike had some 155mm cranks(which she had outgrown the length and the 34t front gearing), which I replaced with 170's and a 39t, ( I really wanted 165's, but dont have any) and she has a good pedal stroke with the 170's, except that the bb height is too low for a 170, so she is occasionally catching her feet on the ground when hammering. No bueno.

She too, has had a rough time in school a bit, and when she gets home, I can already see her going on long strange trips on her 20 inch bike to blow off steam. She is quickly outgrowing the 20. She really needs a 24, but give her ten minutes, she'll grow into this in no time.
