You can get the proper answer about a bike for your daughter by going to a bike store.  The people working there will be able to  help you a lot.

I might get a gift card of some sort or a gift certificate.  One of the important things about a bike is the fit.  You could go to Performance or Bike Nashbar (sister companies) and buy a bike.  Colorado Cyclists is very good.  You could go to a site and buy a bike.  What do you do next?  If the bike fits, you are lucky.  What happens if you need to swap a part to get a better fit?  Very tough.  Since a good fit prevents injury and makes the ride more enjoyable, personally, I would get the card.

it will depend upon how long your legs are compared with your torso, though if you're likely to ride off road often I'd say roughly a 19". maybe an inch or so bigger if you're staying on the tarmac most of the time. smaller bikes are slightly more manoeverable, and are hence better suited to riding off-road.\n\ntry before you buy though.

Nice!  I was about to get that for my girl..........but she ended feeling more comfortable on a Specialized Dolce Comp.  Since that is a woman's specific.  Here are two more choices for you.\n\nCannondale Synapse Feminine 3 - $1,499 retail or Cycling magazine reviewed the Cannondale Synapse Feminine Carbon as the best female specific bike - $1,999 retail (I believe)\n\nhttp://www.cannondale.com/bikes/07/cusa/jfw/road/model-7RWA3T.html\n\nSpecialized Dolce Comp - bought my girl's bike for $1,399\n\nhttp://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?sid=07D4WRoad&bikeTab=features

Seat posts range in size.  With most common being 27.2 mm.  There are 26.4, 27.0 etc.  Do not guess, if the seatpost is too small and you try to ride on it, it can irreversably damage the frame. If it's too large, then obviously it will not fit.  The way to go is to take the bike to a bikeshop, they will have a special measurment pipe that's inserted into the frame and tells you precise diameter.  Seatposts are not cheap, but it would make sense to buy at the bike shop as well, rather than to wait for 2 weeks on ebay and save 10 bucks.  \nTo prevent stolen seatpost get a special leash that goes on the seat and attaches to a frame ($6) or go for extra cool and secure Onguard seatpost skewer (usually $50 in a set along with two wheel skewers).

Try to stretch your budget a little and take a look at the Cannondale range. For your money you get one of the best built frames in the World - comfortable, strong and built from the ground up for women. The componentry is usually superior pound-for-pound too. A Cannondale is a quality bargain that will last you for years and be a pleasure to ride.\n\nThe current 'Street' and 'Vintage' ranges are brilliant.

Couple of things you need to find out first. \n\nWhat kind of bike does she want? Road, mountain, comfort? Different bikes measure their frames differently.\n\nWhat brand of bike? Trek, Giant, Huffy, etc.? Different manufacturers have different sizing specifications.\n\nMy advice is to start by taking your wife to a bicycle shop. Ask to get measured from head to toe. They'll get her arm reach, inseam length, weight, etc. Then they can match her up with a bike that will suit her.

For a road bike, look at something in the range of 56cm to 58cm.  For a mtn bike, look at something in the range of 16.5 in to 18 in.

A tt-r125 is a little kids bike. I am 16 and I ride a yz250f, you might wanna step your game up and get something like that or a yz, rm, kx, cr 125. TT-r's are bikes made for 5th graders. You really dont wanna be a 61 year old on a bike that your grandchildren outgrew.

Have an extemely pleasant shopping trip to a bike shop.  Take the child with you.  They will only show you bikes that will fit your child.  This will instantly give you a very good idea what size bike to buy.  Of course you can buy it wherever you want.  \n\nFor any type of cycling, a relationship with a bike shop is a very good idea.  If you need an adjustment of any sort, or something more simple like a flat fixed or a more comfortable seat, the bike shop will be there to help you.  Since bikes are the only thing they do, you know it is going to come out reasonably well done.\n\nLater, when the child grows, the bike shop can re-size the bike by increasing the handlebars and seat post to prevent knee damage.  They will also know exactly when to recommend the next size bigger bike, and this can preserve the health of your child as well as keep them interested in cycling.\n\nWith this kind of help, hopefully the child will stay interested in cycling through the teenage years onto adulthood and benfit from the many mental/physical health benefits that any outdoor sport provides.\n\nIt is impressive that you are concerned about proper fit, because that is the most important factor for enjoyment of cycling.

It depends on the bike. The kind of bike you might buy at a toy store is measured by the wheel diameter. More expensive bikes for serious cyclists, measure the wheel diameter and the frame.

700 x 23c - Tyre size...this is standard issue\n53/39 - Number of teeth on 2 front cogs...standard issue\npedals- comes with pedals\n50cm to 62cm- frame sizes available\n\nthe 50-62cm is frame size availability, not pedal-related. this measurement typically is seat-tube (s-t) length, from center of bottom-bracket (bb) to center of top-tube (t-t), but can sometimes measure to the top of t-t or even to the top of the seat collar.

What bike you buy depends on what kind of riding you intend to do.\nFull suspension gives you the ability to go over rough, technical terrain faster and also corner better, but they normally weigh more and are more expensive than hardtails.\nWould recommend 26" wheels/tyres because they are the more standard size and will make replacement easier (tubes/tyres etc...).\nPersonally I am a hardtail fan, you have more 'feel', better for jumps, more versatile and less parts to break.
