I'm building up a bike for my missus to learn to ride on. And I mean learn from scratch. It's coming along quite nicely - apprpriate size, decentish bits so if she does get into it she will enjoy it (14" inbred, my old rebas, hope/mavic/juicy 3s etc).
Just one thing i can't decide on: should i build it singlespeed for her to learn on and then add gears when she's confident coordinating pedaling, balancing, braking etc? Or should i gear it from the off? I'm leaning towards ss'ing it at the moment but am happy to be persuaded away from the idea. Can't decide!
