I totally agree if it were my bike, but realistically she's looking for comfort over performance and will prefer the looks of the Ridgeback. (That Pinnacle fork is a beast!) This will only be for pootling around town. Ahead stems don't exactly look refined on this type of bike with all their protruding bolts. Also a long quill has the advantage of height adjustment and its not like I'll need to remove the bars that often. All the other components will be moved over from the Pinnacle so will keep the modern advantages. I guess I could always hold on to the Pinnacle frame for the future if she starts riding more..
